Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin Wealth Falls $20 Billion as Market Corrects

  • Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin portfolio has declined by $20 billion since reaching its peak on October 7, 2025.
  • His total holdings stand at 1.096 million BTC, valued at $117.24 billion.
  • Arkham data shows minor inflows from CoinJoin and Revolut wallets.

Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin fortune has declined sharply after a week of market correction. Data from Arkham Intelligence shows that his total holdings, valued at $117.24 billion, dropped by $1.15 billion in the past 24 hours. Bitcoin is currently priced at $106,944, marking a 1.05% daily decrease. 

Despite the decline, Nakamoto still holds around 1.096 million BTC, maintaining his position as one of the largest individual holders in the market. Nakamoto’s portfolio reached its highest value on October 7, 2025, during Bitcoin’s recent all-time high. Since that date, his net worth has fallen by approximately $20 billion. The loss mirrors the broader downturn across major digital assets over the same period.

Network Data Shows Wallet Activity

According to a recent post on X, Arkham’s transaction records show steady minor inflows into Nakamoto’s known wallets. Several CoinJoin and exchange-related addresses transferred trace amounts, ranging from 0.00001 to 0.00004 BTC, into the genesis wallet. Each transaction was valued between $1 and $6, showing minimal wallet activity and no significant liquidation.

The network map from Arkham displays Nakamoto’s large address cluster. Thousands of wallet nodes link directly to the original genesis wallet, reflecting the scale of the early Bitcoin distribution. Most of these wallets remain dormant, with only small and traceable movements occurring periodically.

Market Correction Impacts Global Ranking

Following the latest decline, Nakamoto ranks as the world’s 15th richest person . His current net worth places him ahead of Alice Walton and Michael Bloomberg. The $20 billion loss since early October marks one of the largest short-term declines in the portfolio’s recorded history.

Despite price volatility, market data shows that Nakamoto’s wallets have not shown major outflows. The overall holdings remain intact, with no evidence of large transfers or sales. The inflows observed mostly originate from external sources, such as CoinJoin mixers and Revolut’s hot wallet, confirming minor blockchain activity linked to Nakamoto’s public addresses.

The unchanged status of Nakamoto’s core Bitcoin holdings continues to underscore their role in market evaluation. The $117 billion valuation reflects the direct relationship between Bitcoin’s price movement and the value of its assets. While the broader crypto market experiences ongoing fluctuations, Nakamoto’s portfolio remains one of the most closely tracked in the industry, maintaining control of the early mined Bitcoin supply.
