Satoshi Nakamoto tops the crypto billionaires ranking
According to on-chain data, the largest personal fortunes in the cryptocurrency market are held by developers, entrepreneurs, and early industry participants. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
To identify the leaders in this field, a special ranking was compiled based on blockchain analysis. The top position is held by Satoshi Nakamoto, recognized as the creator of Bitcoin.
His wealth is estimated at approximately $69 billion, primarily accumulated from Bitcoin mined in 2009–2010.
Nakamoto still controls a significant amount of cryptocurrency in the blockchain system he created. In second place is Justin Sun, founder of the TRON project.
His crypto assets are valued at around $2.7 billion. Sun has achieved substantial influence through the development of his blockchain platform and continues to be active today.
Third place is held by IT specialist James Howell, whose lost hard drive reportedly contains Bitcoin assets now worth about $500 million.
This case has become a notable example in discussions about cryptocurrency security. Further down the list are developer Stefan Thomas with $440 million, Estonian banker Reyn Lohmus with $425 million, and Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin with $384 million.
These individuals are considered leaders in their respective areas. Additionally, Irish investor Clifton Collins holds $316 million, and Mao Shisin, one of the founders of F2Pool, holds $166 million.
Argentine entrepreneur Patricio Vortxaltern’s crypto assets are valued at $107 million, while investor James Fikel’s wealth is estimated at $66 million.
Experts emphasize that these figures are based on publicly available blockchain data and reflect only identifiable cryptocurrency holdings, not the individuals’ total financial assets.
Therefore, the actual wealth of these individuals could be significantly higher.
