Who holds the most bitcoins?

[gweedo]

Definitely satoshi, he is the creator of Bitcoin and holds the most bitcoins in the wallet. According to estimates, he has more than 1 million bitcoins and maybe even more than that, but he hasn't sold any bitcoins so far and it seems that the bitcoins are being locked and not anyone can open it except Satoshi, but he went missing many years ago and hasn't had any news so far. And there are many other whales in this market but they store bitcoins in different wallets and so it is difficult to have an accurate calculation.

[DreamStage]

You do realize there might be way more people holding more Bitcoin that the ones stated.

For instance even Satoshi won't reveal such value, since he never revealed himself so how could someone know about him at all?
It just makes no sense, and those values seems specualtion or try hard to find a relative number explanation...

There are people that might not want to give away such informations to public just for their own self protection or people like you stalking others private informations.

[DevilSlayer]

There are whales in the market who want to stay anonymous so for me the one who holds a lot of bitcoin is protecting his identity. There are also theories that saying satoshi holds a lot of bitcoin but the thing is we do not know if it true or not. The future of bitcoin is bright and even financial institutions nowadays are now also buying and holding bitcoins.

yes i think op score is correct. Because I also don't have information about who owns the most bitcoins.
and in my opinion no one knows for sure who holds the most bitcoin. because bitcoin is anonymous and there can't be anyone who announces that he has a lot of bitcoin. because it is very risky. and in my opinion it's better like this with no idea who owns the most bitcoins so that it keeps decentralized and safe.

everyone is different and there are those who report boldly and some who become anonymous in bitcoin ownership. but if anyone can prove complex then we can make an initial reference before we find out more deeply

Satoshi might be holding a huge amount of Bitcoin but no one really knows how big it is. We can name big names who are holding Bitcoins but no one can prove it since no one can provide definite evidence. There might be low key people who have the most Bitcoins more than what we think. Everything about crypto is always surprising.

[Sadlife]

They're only the ones of the few who holds bitcoin when you look at whale alert you'll see tons of anonymous users that holds bitcoin that has far more greater amount than tim draper or any popular guys mentioned in the post. The beauty about bitcoin is we can never know who holds the most amount because of its anonymity. So that list could be inaccurate atleast some of it.

[FanEagle]

I have always thought that Satoshi Nakamoto holds the most amount of Bitcoin, but I don't really know if I'm right, but starting from when I was a newbie in 2015, a lot of people have always mentioned him as owning the most Bitcoins around 1.1 million BTC.

The next I know of is the Winklevoss twins (Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss) that are said to have sued Zuckerberg for stealing their idea and creating Facebook. They were said to have gotten $65 million, which you mentioned, in 2013 and invested $11 in bitcoin. I also heard that one Ross Ulbricht who was a key figure in running a dark internet marketplace was busted by the FBI in 2013 and they seized 144,000 BTC from him. So, assuming that never happened, he would be one of those that owns most BTC, so now I'm giving it to the FBI, lol.

We can't really tell who owns the most BTC, but let's just say that Satoshi Nakamoto owns the most of it. Another thing you have to know is that not everyone likes fame, so there might possibly be people that owns a lot but decides to keep it a secret so they wouldn't be in public eyes.

Recently, I read a discussion here about coinbase's wallet but that is the collective amounts of its users. If we are not looking for individuals but organization then I guess coinbase could be the one entity which holds more number of bitcoins.

Everything about crypto is always surprising.

We might not know, there are some silent people around the world that hold's too much bitcoin in their secret wallet address, might be inactive but I do believe that there are many adopters before that didn't really decided to sell their bitcoin and might still be holding it up until now. In that case, Satoshi and the other influential bitcoin enthusiast aren't the only one having enormous amount of bitcoin. And what does it imply to the market? With this, we can say that there really are bitcoin millionaires that will serve as an inspiration for us to hodl more bitcoin as I consider this stage as still early, not late so the chance for us to gain allot is still big.

I've always been interested in this question, but I found a lot of confusing information.
I recently came across this article in Quora, and I wonder how accurate and verified this information is: https://www.quora.com/Who-holds-the-most-bitcoins
According to this article, it seems that Satoshi holds the most bitcoins, between 600,000 and 1,600,000 BTC.
The following are the Winklevoss brothers, with 91,666 bitcoin.
Next is Barry Silbert with 48,000 BTC.
Next in order are Tim Draper with $250,000 worth of BTC and Michael Novogratz with his crypto net worth to be around $700 million – $1 billion.
Do you agree with this assessment from the article or do you have more credible and accurate information?

It is very difficult to prove your point accurately. The exact details of how many bitcoins are hidden are not found.We think it will take us several days to find the right holder. Because the exact address cannot be traced.

[Asmonist]

I guess its somehow accurate but I think there are still those who didn't disclose their bitcoin assets. It maybe so interesting to know about their bitcoin holds but somehow we feel so envious to them. Well, its really amazing and they are just so blessed to have that figures. Satoshi is known to be the founder and no doubt he has the most highest holds.

[longyenthanh]

According to estimates, the author of the Bitcoin White Paper has between 600,000 and 1,600,000 BTC. Satoshi's coming out could make him one of the wealthiest people worldwide.

is this the reason why satoshi never showed up?

[heidikim]

Satoshi can have the most bitcoin '. But that doesn't matter. Because Satoshi is the founder of this system. Satoshi worked for an ideal. He built a system. Now, who only has the most Bitcoin? I think there's more to money than bitcoin's philosophy. A new decentralized world.

[BigBos]

in this case, we really don't know who has the most bitcoin, it's like asking who holds the most fiat, and each person has their own opinion. Well, I can only assume that if Satoshi really has that much bitcoin, I think it's very difficult for anyone to have more bitcoin than him. it is something extraordinary. so far, I really don't think that there are people who have a lot of bitcoin besides the developers of bitcoin itself.

Obviously, it's Satoshi Nakamoto who has the most of bitcoin as he's the creator of it, but the most important things who are the richest people who are the following ones after Satoshi? Bitcoin is really amazing and better than fiat, I mean with if you save a high amount of bitcoin, you'll earn few thousands of dollars for just a quiet increase of bitcoin's price, bitcoin is really an amazing crypto for investing in the long term period.

[cryp24x]

Maybe we think that we really know everything about Cryptocurrency but all the facts about who holds the most bitcoins which is base from the wallets is not a solid basis. Why? We really don't know who owns the wallet and a single person can own multiple wallets or a single wallet was own by multiple persons. We don't even know how many people owns Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet.

I agree some company or people who holds more bitcoin are staying anonymous to protect theirself and also for their safety. One most known person who most hold bitcoin was satoshi because he was the creator of bitcoin and according to some research has million of bitcoin in his wallet account.

[thirdlight]

Most Bitcoin, a man who has a lot of money and has invested in crypto. It's also possible that the creator has a lot of Bitcoins...

[iamaruf]

It’s really hard to say that who holds most bitcoin.I saw a website there was few address who holds that amount bitcoin.But finding that person is really hard.Your statement might be wrong, finding the address owner is really hard.Can you prove that I am not holding bitcoin or I am in the bitcoin richlists.
