In an electrifying revelation that has reignited the intrigue surrounding Bitcoin’s enigmatic creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, crypto intelligence platform Arkham has shed light on the colossal fortune still under Nakamoto’s hold—an astounding $107,071,037,496 worth of Bitcoin. Arkham recently expanded its database by incorporating 22,000 Bitcoin addresses allegedly linked to Nakamoto, bringing his total holdings to a staggering 1.096 million BTC.

Central to this discovery is the application of Sergio Lerner’s Patoshi Pattern theory. This theory identifies and analyzes anomalies within the early Bitcoin protocol, pinpointing blocks that were likely mined by a single entity—believed to be Satoshi. Lerner’s research suggests the mining of approximately 22,000 early Bitcoin blocks can be attributed to Nakamoto—a conclusion supported by blockchain analysis and various public sources.

This immense digital fortune theoretically positions Nakamoto among the world’s elite billionaires, ranking as the 15th-richest person globally, surpassing even Microsoft’s co-founder Bill Gates, according to Forbes’ real-time billionaires list.

Coinbase Director Conor Grogan’s examination of Arkham’s data reveals an intriguing connection. He noted that one of the Patoshi addresses received Bitcoin from now-defunct Canadian exchange Cavirtex, which was later acquired by Kraken in 2016. Grogan speculates that Kraken’s co-founder Jesse Powell might have crucial insights into Nakamoto’s identity, provided any KYC data on these transactions exist. However, he advises caution, suggesting data deletion to preserve privacy and the mystery that shrouds Nakamoto.

Kraken’s response to Grogan’s findings was as cryptic as the mystery itself, tweeting, “We are all Satoshi,” further deepening the intrigue.

As the crypto community grapples with this tantalizing puzzle, questions about the potential impact of Nakamoto’s dormant Bitcoin stash on the broader market remain unanswered. Will this digital treasure trove ever be unlocked, and what will its impact be on the future of cryptocurrency?
