Satoshi Nakamoto: The Largest Holder of Bitcoin

The enigmatic creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, is believed to hold approximately 1.1 million BTC, making him the largest holder of Bitcoin. Satoshi's pioneering contributions began with the launch of Bitcoin on January 3, 2009. Mining over 22,000 blocks during the infancy of the network, Satoshi accumulated over a million BTC through block rewards. These holdings, distributed across approximately 22,000 wallets, remain intact—except for some early test transactions. Satoshi's last public communication was in 2010, leaving the Bitcoin community with a lasting legacy and a persistent mystery.
