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

[davis196]

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?

Bitcoin is anonymous.The large holders(most of them) obviously want to stay anonymous.

There are rumors about large holders wealth but nobody can verify the rumors.

Why are you asking this?Why do you care?

We can never tell who it is! If I will be rich in using bitcoin of course I will not tell it to the world for privacy and security purposes!

thats true, most of the people who own some bitcoins right now usually are just anonymous in my opinion and we dont even know them

[Mastsetad]

I think it is not possible to know about them unless someone comes himself and shows what he has, otherwise we cannot find them.

Its impossible to seeing them because i think they are also afraid to show their bitcoin and how much they are holding.. and maybe someone can bruthforce the private key of his address..

Aftet satoshi i do not know who will be the richest bitcoiner of this generation but i can say that satoshi dice has really made some of men really profitable. I mean millionere or billionear

Today?I don't know who are the richest bitcoin users. If you mind, share to me your ideas guys. Is really bitcoin can make a person rich? 

[mastica]

Makes no sense to have to expose the owners of the adress just because they are into the top 100 richest list, bitcoin its pseudo anonymousn and if someone show off, its a sure the bad people will attack their family, soo its a big reason to stay the way it is, even being curious about each adress i do understand the risks to get exposed.

I don't have an idea who is the richest bitcoin users, but I guess if we are going to have intelligent guess those people are the developers of bitcoins. I think Gavin is the richest bitcoin person. And maybe we can also consider that Satoshi is next or first to him. But we can't prove it unless we are going to know their bitcoin addresses.

Look at this address:

https://blockchain.info/address/3Nxwenay9Z8Lc9JBiywExpnEFiLp6Afp8v

What kind of transaction is this?

https://blockchain.info/tx/3092ac842bd5f9abfec840e7404614b2a7ccb6c660a0ed1fd91efcd88727d62b

Multi-sig, with most those addresses still active today.

I do not know who has the most coins but I see on the internet satoshi he has a lot of coins, so no one can match it

[xFiber]

Satoshi owns by far the most bitcoin (if he/she didn't dump the coins yet), and we'll deserved. But what does it matter? Focus on yourself instead of losing yourself in other people's possessions.

i know all accounts!

.....but no names 

That's some crazy amount of BTC!

There might be a huge shift in Forbes ranking supposedly BTC is treated as currency rather than asset.

Pretty crazy and if anybody was known to be among that list they could be putting their lives in danger and there is a possibility that one bitcoiner could be the owner of several addresses from there...and there is a possibility some of the private keys to those addresses are lost.

I guess or should I say the richest bitcoin owners presently should be the original creators of the blockchain network, since they were able to buy much of the crypto(or own much of it) at an early age then I think they should be the richest

[bitbunnny]

I know someone who owns more than 1Million Bitcoins

You mean 1 million Bitcoins or 1 million counter value of Bitcoins? This is huge sum.
I think that the richest Bitcoin users are early adopters who bought large sum of Bitcoins at the begininig and kept them long enough to achieve this value. But this information about richest bitcoiners would probably remain secret because they don't want their identity to be revealed if they are smart enough.

[Yatsan]

Of course the creator of it Satoshi Nakamoto. but I think the others are the people who have the extreme patience to wait to sell their bitcoins. And some are the richest people here on Earth like Bill gates and other creator of large Trading site and Wallet because that is for sure that they are earning a lot of bitcoin in that kind of business.

[rausvi15]

People who adopted and trusted the bitcoins in its early stage are the one who holds the maximum amount of bitcoins. No one will disclose that they are holding the huge amount of btc, due to the fear of security and inquiries from government officials.
