Several of those are bitcoin exchanges, and they hold other peoples coins in them. The "richest" addres belongs to bitfinex.
Most of those addresses do not belong to rich individuals.

Personally I think that they are crazy. If they were smart they would divide the coins to several addresses. It is safer to have multiple addresses.
If someone succeeded in emptying one address they still would not lose everything.

The only reason to have so much in one address is that it may be good publicity.

Satoshis untouched addresses DO have about million coins in them, but they are not in one address.

Those coins are in many addresses, each of them holding "only" 50BTC

Satoshi has never moved any of them. except in the beginning on January 2009 to test if everything works properly.

Thanks for sharing. That is very interesting facts about the average addresses btc total. It's a lot of rich addresses  

Very interesting article as for me. thank's for share. If it's not sold out before, so there is no reason to worry about.

For some addresses it is quite easy to know.
addresses 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 have recently been spent from, so they are accessible.

And also 7,8,9,10 have been created in 2013-2014, when bitcoin already had value and those addresses were already so valuable that keys have surely been kept safe.

Address 4 on the other hand is probably lost, because those 79957BTC have not been touched since 2011.

Is there any concrete source to this thing? I mean bitcoin is already $5000 when does he plans to get a bit of luxury in life. Is he waiting for a time when he can buy everything just by transferring bitcoin?

There have been some really good quesses:

That pattern makes it possible to know which coins are highly likely Satoshis coins.

I don't see that in the infographics!! the richest address contains 158262 BTC and it's bitfinex's cold wallet address. probably few other addresses in top lists are exchangers cold wallet!

Why would it take a long time to cash out?
He can send roughly 6000 transaction in a block according to this:
https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/1782523.msg17777814#msg17777814
So he's just going to wait for 4 or 5  blocks.
Once they hit the exchange it doesn't matter if he has 50 000 or 100 000 or 1000000 cause no current exchange has walls with 50k above 10$.


It says 158 262.


There is only one single way to approximate the coins satoshi holds and only the minimum.
That if he still has access to the coins.
Take the period when we know he was solo mining and calculate all the blocks left untouched.
That number is close to 1 million if I remember correctly.
