Satoshi Nakamoto is now the 18th richest person in the world

With Bitcoin (BTC) roaring to new record highs, the momentum has elevated the wealth profile of long-term holders, including anonymous founder Satoshi Nakamoto.

To this end, Nakamoto’s wallets, with about 1 million BTC holdings, translate to a net worth of above $96 billion, ranking him as the 18th richest person in the world. This wealth places him just behind the owners of Walmart (NYSE: WMT) Jim Walton and his family, who have a net worth of $102.9 billion.

The fortune places Nakamoto above prominent billionaires such as Alice Walton and Carlos Slim Helu in net worth rankings.
