In a report released by Arkham on Wednesday, Satoshi Nakamoto, the enigmatic figure behind the inception of Bitcoin, is positioned to become one of the most prominent Bitcoin whales, boasting an unaltered portfolio of 1.1 million BTC, currently valued at a staggering $30.8 billion. This substantial holding could witness remarkable growth in anticipation of the 2025 bull run.
The impending bull run is hinged on the occurrence of a Bitcoin halving event, and if Bitcoin achieves the much-anticipated milestone of $100,000, Nakamoto’s holdings are expected to soar to an estimated $110 billion. This represents a potential increase of 277.36%, thereby surpassing MicroStrategy’s current cache of 160,000 coins and providing a higher degree of liquidity than Bernard Arnault’s fortune.
Moreover, in the event that Bitcoin reaches even loftier valuations of up to $225,000, a possibility conjectured in the Bitcoin whitepaper, Nakamoto’s wealth could experience further exponential expansion. Nonetheless, the realization of these projections remains uncertain, with the years leading up to the 2025 bull run holding the key to their ultimate materialization.
