Who are the richest Bitcoin users and how much do they own?

[Pollak]

No, and why would they? It's nobody's business to know this. I like to think that Satoshi owns the most and that he/she or that group, whoever that may be, are/is the richest.

And my address is not on this list  

Seriously, why is this mysterious account of Satoshi not listed? I do not know the address but all (including the media who discovered Craig Wright) writing about an account with 1,1 million Bitcoins.

i know all accounts!

http://www.bitcoinrichlist.com/top100





.....but no names  

We can only know addresses. Most users of course split their holdings between multiple addresses. Satoshi's Bitcoins are presumably all still unspent outputs from mining rewards (50BTC each)

[Zaun]

I don't think it's needed for anyone to know. Most people split their bitcoins over different addresses anyway. I don't think we'll every find out.

[traderbit]

I am not sure if it is only one single person or a group.
But coinbase should be in the top people/company that have bitcoins.
I will try to find the source as i read it somewhere here in forum.

[randy8777]

satoshi is the undoubted nr1 when it comes to owning the most bitcoins. as a second it is either mark karpeles or roger ver. i hope mark karpeles will dump his last coins, if he haven't already. that means a less worry for the people.

[Beliathon]

Me

amount owned: 0 btc

because ownership does not apply on the blockchain

[Pathi]

I thought someone tried to extort Roger Ver one time? Then he posted a bounty for their location name etc and they backed down?

[ajareselde]

I think exchanges own a huge stack of coins, and i'm not only thinking about Ver here. Just look at btc'e for example and their volume of trades. They
made 12 000 USD in fee's just on btc/usd trade pair today, and it's quite possible they're keeping some profits in bitcoins as well. Day in day out, they
earn from those fee's, to this day that amount they own could be insanely large.

cheers

[QuestionAuthority]

You are one of the richest people in the world

You are a member of the 1% in human wealth



and 1% least hungry

We should grind up the poorest people in the world to make pet food. It would solve two problems at once. It would end world hunger because they're gone and provide a cheap source of pet food.

Why would anyone be stupid enough to release their net worth?

[junglist.massive]

could be dangerous if someday satoshi drop most of his coins

[DeathAngel]

Yes I forgot Karpeles.

I guess it's quite possible that he has set aside a nice stash after all those years betraying his customers.

You can't enjoy all that money when you're getting ass raped in prison

[quentincole32]

I know Satoshi is claimed to possess 1.1 million BTC (which would be an insane amount)

But who are the other really large holders and how much do they own? Roger Ver? Gavin Andresen?
I remember someone claiming that Ver owns about 300.000 BTC, is there any place where this is confirmed?

I have checked http://www.bitcoinrichlist.com but they only show adresses and we cant know with certainty which of those are connected.


Are there any confirmed large holders, who openly talk about the amount they possess?

its not easy to find who is the highest bitcoin amount holders,but some address will proof that outhere will many ore bitcoin holder who have some many bitcoin on their address,this is i give you some.

[Bitware]

It's none of our business.

I respectuflly disagree.

As an owner of Bitcoins it is of interest to me who the other participants in this market are and what they do. If for instance (a very drastic scenario to illustrate my point) Roger Ver posts that he intends to sell all of his Bitcoins, then the value of my Bitcoins will certainly decline.
As you can see there is a direct causality relationship between all participants in the Bitcoin market.
Therefore knowledge about large owners, the sizes of their holdings as well as their intentions are in fact crucial information for everybody who owns Bitcoins.

Curiosity doesn't make it any of your business.

But at the same time we have the right to know who has the most Bitcoin.

Yeah. I also saw that address. Do you know a way to find out who's address it is? I am pretty sure there is no way though.

[ChetnotAtkins]

My best would be that it's one of the big exchanges' cold wallet.
You could make accounts at and send different amounts to all major exchanges and see which one ends up in this address  

[wadili89]

if i was one of them i never ever tell anybody nor i make any mistakes which can show my privacy because government can do things to you and also kidnappers and other bad things

this is what satoshi did he own insane amount of bitcoins and is living just because no body know him

[ChetnotAtkins]

Have you guys heard of user 'knightmb'? He owned 371,000 BTC at one point and maybe he still does.
If I remember correctly he was hired by people in Bitcoin's early stage to built a Bitcoin prepaid card or something like this for them. Then the project was abandoned and the people who hired him never bothered to check how much bitcoins were actually worth and knightmb convinced them to sell the 371,000BTC to him for $ 5,000.

Cheeky guy

He later claimed to have 'donated' them, but other users were able to disprove this claim.

[Vene]

could be dangerous if someday satoshi drop most of his coins

Why would he drop most of his coins? To put his money in a bank?
As far as I see it he is living like a boss and spending his bitcoins on a daily basis.

Other thing is I am sure by now he has enough $ to be rich even without his BTC.
So no I dont see him cashing all out, EVER.
