It is still uncertain whether Satoshi refers to one individual or even a group of people let's say Satoshi is one individual with this it can be ensured that no one can surpass his bitcoin ownership even though that person is elon musk because most of musk wealth is shares in the Tesla and Spacex companies but if it is an entity or a country there is still a possibility to surpass Satoshi bitcoin ownership.

Elon is number one in terms of networth!

However, in terms of Bitcoin holdings, I don't think any individual will be able to overtake Satoshi. However, governments or corporates can do. But even to achieve that, hundreds of billions of dollars will be needed. So for Bitcoin holding, Satoshi is the clear winner. I don't think anyone would try to overtake him.

If someone has that much money, he wouldn't have to prove anything to the world by becoming biggest Bitcoin holder.

Well, I doubt that it will be Elon Musk. It's likely that it will be Michael Saylor's MSTR although it won't count as an individual/person. If it's just with individuals, maybe there won't be anyone would hold a million bitcoins and will start accumulating today. The likely is that these financial institutions will hold a million and it's a cumulative effort by their corporations and investors. I cannot think of any other personalities that could reach satoshi's level in holding Bitcoin. Maybe, someone from Saudi Arabia and of the same royalties, the princes or kings.

You can actually see the list of the world's richest people on this site: https://www.forbes.com/real-time-billionaires/#7ef2ccc73d78 , where it states that the 12th richest person in the world is Bill Gates. So, if you say he's in 12th place the richest person in the world, that's a bit inaccurate.


If it were an institution/government, it might be possible, as they have more resources. However, if it were an individual, I don't think anyone could hold more Bitcoin than Satoshi, since individuals have limited resources and would prefer to diversify their assets and not invest them all in Bitcoin.

The last time I checked, Satoshi Nakamoto is on the eleven position as one of the richest person, why now 12 when Bitcoin has reached another ATH?
As Bitcoin has a limited supply, it's obvious that Satoshi Nakamoto holds 5% of Bitcoin, so I actually think that if Bitcoin continues to increase as the day passes, he will either remain among the number 11 richest person in the world or even closer to the fifth position. Why Satoshi Nakamoto can not be beaten in terms of being among top 11 richest person is basically because his wealth continues to increase as long as Bitcoin is skyrocketing.

I also saw it as the 11th richest person base on the current market price of bitcoin which makes it worth around $130 billion but the question remains whether this ranking is actually needed, for me it is baseless because Satoshi isn’t even confirmed to be a person or an entity at the moment. Also this bitcoin is on a dormant address, although for me Satoshi is just to smart to lose his keys but technically it is possible and this simply means he doesn’t have the ownership to what he is been rated with. so I don’t think he should be rated anyways.

As for so there anyone capable of surpassing this holdings, personally I doubt anyone will simply buy more than 1 million bitcoin right now, best I see is all this institutions like ETF institutions having such amount of bitcoin and technically that’s not there’s also as it belongs to investors. The highest holders are currently just holding slightly above half of what Satoshi has and they are even exchanges which means it doesn’t belongs to them too

Satoshi Nakamoto is the biggest Bitcoin holder and he has great control over Bitcoin's movement and if eventually he gets to withdraw his Bitcoin there would be a drastic decline in the price of Bitcoin so I don't see any chances of anyone even Elon Musk being the no. 1 Bitcoin holder.

Do not mention Elon Musk because Elon has already dropped in ranking while Satoshi climbed to the 11th position, taking over Michael Dell, the CEO of Dell Technologies. However, Satoshi would keep climbing high as long as BTC keeps appreciating in value over time, and believe me, the space at which Satoshi would become the world's richest man would happen just within the twinkling of an eye without any competition or a contender, all courtesy of Bitcoin.

Don’t know why they keep coming up with these comparisons for a figure that you can’t even tell if it’s a person, brand or an organization. We all like to think Satoshi Nakamoto is a person, possibly did all these alone or not but with that certainty, even the few known address might end up not being a coin owned by a single individual.
Just like you said, Satoshi Nakamoto couldn’t care any less and the desire to remain anonymous fits the innovation.

The idea of possible withdrawal of some of these coins is just a means to create FUD but they seem to forget one thing, the market is so large that it could take just whatever comes in and bounce right back to normalcy.
