Blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence has discovered $108 billion worth of Bitcoin (BTC) held in wallets linked to the pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto. Using advanced forensic tools and the Patoshi Pattern, the company traced the holdings to Nakamoto's earliest digital vaults. This revelation provides insight into Nakamoto's financial footprint but maintains the mystery surrounding their identity. The Patoshi Pattern, first identified in 2013, suggests that Nakamoto mined over 1 million BTC during the network's first year. While Nakamoto has not spent any BTC from their supposed trove, small amounts of BTC dust and messages regularly enter the wallets associated with them. By monitoring these addresses, stakeholders can enhance transparency, security, and trust within the Bitcoin ecosystem.
