Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto's net worth has shrunk by $20 billion in just 10 days.
According to the analytics platform Arkham Intelligence, the net worth of Bitcoin (BTC) creator Satoshi Nakamoto has plummeted in a very short period of time. On-chain analysis revealed that his holdings have fallen by $20 billion in just 10 days. The anonymous developer's net worth peaked on October 7, 2025, when the value of his BTC reached an all-time high.
According to Arkham, Nakamoto's portfolio is valued at $117.25 billion, with Bitcoin currently trading at around $106,944. His wallets hold approximately 1.096 million BTC, making him the largest holder of the world's first cryptocurrency. Despite the recent decline in its price, Nakamoto remains the 15th richest person on the planet, surpassing billionaires such as Alice Walton and Michael Bloomberg.
Over the past 24 hours, its assets have lost approximately $1.15 billion following a market correction. The Arkham chart shows that the decline began after Bitcoin's market cap peaked in early October and coincided with a period of large-scale market liquidations, with traders' total losses exceeding $19 billion.
Arkham data also shows that activity in Nakamoto's wallets remains minimal—most funds haven't moved since the 2010s. The most recent recorded incoming transactions amount to only fractions of a BTC, presumably transfers from other users.
Despite the temporary decline, analysts believe Bitcoin's fundamentals remain strong. Market participants believe the current weakness could become another accumulation point before a new growth cycle, especially amid growing institutional demand and steady inflows into spot ETFs.
