Coinbase's director Conor Grogan has suggested that Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, may own approximately 1.096 million BTC, placing his fortune alongside that of Bill Gates.

Estimated Fortune of Satoshi Nakamoto

Based on current estimates, Satoshi Nakamoto's fortune could reach $108 billion, making him comparable to the world's wealthiest individuals.

Transactions and Link to CaVirtEx

According to Grogan, there were 24 recorded transactions from addresses linked to Nakamoto, with the most frequent recipient being the now-defunct Canadian crypto exchange CaVirtEx.

Kraken's Role in Unveiling the Mystery

Following Kraken's acquisition of CaVirtEx in 2016, Grogan speculates that Kraken may hold crucial information regarding Nakamoto's identity. However, Kraken has yet to comment on these claims.

The identity of Bitcoin's creator remains one of the biggest mysteries in the crypto world, and if Grogan's claims are accurate, Kraken could be instrumental in solving it.
