How Much Is Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin Worth Today — and Why Haven’t the Coins Moved?

[madtrader]

Satoshi Nakamoto is estimated to have mined between 600,000 and 1.1 million BTC during Bitcoin’s earliest days. At today’s prices, that would place Satoshi’s theoretical net worth between roughly $41 billion and $75 billion. Much of this estimate comes from analysis of the “Patoshi pattern,” identified by researcher Sergio Damian Lerner, which tracks distinctive early mining behavior believed to be linked to Bitcoin’s creator.

Despite the massive valuation, none of Satoshi’s primary wallets have shown outgoing transactions. The original 50 BTC block reward from Bitcoin’s genesis block is permanently unspendable, and thousands of early addresses remain dormant. If even a fraction of those holdings were ever moved, it could send shockwaves through the market. For now, however, Satoshi’s untouched coins remain one of the largest and most mysterious dormant fortunes in financial history.
