Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin and author of its 2008 white paper, remains one of the most enigmatic figures of the digital era. His identity is still unknown, but it is assumed that he controls significant cryptocurrency holdings.

According to Arkham Intelligence, Satoshi’s fortune fell by more than $5 billion over the past 24 hours and is now estimated at roughly $117 billion. This drop followed a decline in Bitcoin’s price after comments from the Chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve about uncertainty over further monetary easing.

Despite the setback, Satoshi still ranks among the world’s wealthiest individuals, outpacing a number of well-known entrepreneurs and investors. The market correction has also affected other crypto assets, prompting greater caution among participants.

Analysts note that volatility may persist in the coming weeks, given uncertainty around interest rates and global risk appetite. Under these conditions, the market remains highly sensitive to news flow and statements from regulators.
