With 1.1 Million Bitcoins, Satoshi Nakamoto Remains the Largest Bitcoin Holder in 2026.
Satoshi Nakamoto remains the world's largest Bitcoin holder with approximately 1.1 million BTC, worth nearly $75 billion in 2026. These coins have remained unchanged since they were mined in Bitcoin's early days, according to the Arkham platform.
While Satoshi leads the way, institutions have significantly expanded their Bitcoin holdings. The Coinbase exchange holds substantial reserves exceeding 993,000 coins on behalf of its users and in its vaults, while asset management firm BlackRock has increased its Bitcoin exposure through ETFs and custody solutions.
Companies like Strategy& employ an aggressive treasury strategy, consistently accumulating Bitcoin through debt and equity issuances, considering Bitcoin a core asset in their balance sheets.
Governments also play a role in the market by holding confiscated assets, with the U.S. government holding significant amounts of Bitcoin. Meanwhile, Tether continues to increase its reserves as part of its digital asset strategy.
This structure significantly impacts the market. Each new buyer reduces the available supply and strengthens long-term support levels.
