Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin Wealth Dips by Over $4 Billion Amid Market Volatility
Recent Arkham data reveals that Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto's holdings have lost over $4 billion in value over the past four days. The estimated worth of Nakamoto's Bitcoin stash now stands at nearly $116 billion, down from $120 billion reported on May 26.
After peaking at $110,474 on May 26, Bitcoin has entered a three-day decline. The cryptocurrency is currently trading in negative territory, with the broader crypto market experiencing liquidations exceeding $703 million—mostly from bullish traders.
The pseudonymous Bitcoin creator is believed to possess about 1.1 million BTC that have remained untouched since mining. These "off-market" coins continue to draw attention during major price fluctuations despite never being moved.
Bitcoin has fallen to its lowest level since May 20 as markets cool from their April surge. After hitting a session low of $104,624, the cryptocurrency recovered slightly to $105,570—marking a 1.53% daily drop and 3.9% weekly decline.
Market participants are assessing potential impacts after April's inflation data came in lower than expected at 2.1%. The Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, the PCE price index, showed just a 0.1% monthly increase—the lowest annual rate since 2025.
With inflation nearing the Fed's 2% target, expectations are building for potential interest rate cuts that could benefit risk assets. However, policymakers remain cautious as they evaluate the longer-term effects of trade policies.
