According to the screenshot posted by Rizzo, Satoshi currently sits between Michael Dell, who is worth $125.7 billion, and the 94-year-old Omaha Oracle Warren Buffett. The latter is known to be a vocal Bitcoin hater who in 2018 referred to it as “rat poison squared” when addressing the shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway during an annual meeting. His net worth in 2025 stands at $143.3 billion.

According to data shared by Arkham Intelligence, the legendary Bitcoin creator now holds roughly 1.096 million Bitcoins, which is worth $129,123,514,424. However, unlike Warren Buffett’s wealth, Satoshi’s BTC stash has remained untouched for more than a decade. Through that time, many dedicated fans have been sending some of their BTC to one of Satoshi’s 22 wallets to say thanks for creating Bitcoin.
