Just looked at the on-chain data and it's wild how much Satoshi Nakamoto's net worth swings with Bitcoin's moves. Dude went from top 10 wealthiest globally back in October to around 15th now, losing roughly $20 billion in the process. Still sitting pretty above Alice Walton and Michael Bloomberg though.



What gets me is that 1.1 million BTC just sitting there untouched since 2009. Like, Satoshi Nakamoto's net worth is basically tied to whatever Bitcoin decides to do on any given day. One correction and boom, $20 billion vanishes. One rally and it comes roaring back.

This whole thing is a perfect example of why macro-level repricing in crypto is so brutal. Satoshi remains the biggest passive holder ever, but also the most exposed to pure volatility. Pretty humbling reminder that even the founder's wealth is completely at the mercy of market cycles.
