Satoshi Nakamoto surpasses Michael Dell and approaches Buffett in the billionaire rankings
- Satoshi Nakamoto advances among global billionaires
- Bitcoin's appreciation boosts estimated fortune
- Digital asset surpasses silver and Alphabet in value
With Bitcoin trading at $118.978 on Monday (13), accumulating a 1,5% increase on the day, the cryptocurrency's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, rose another position on the global billionaires list. Nakamoto now occupies 11th place in the ranking, surpassing Dell founder Michael Dell.
Nakamoto's fortune is estimated based on the more than one million bitcoins presumably stored in wallets associated with the blockchain's earliest blocks. Although his identity remains shrouded in mystery, the continued rise in the cryptocurrency's price automatically increases his estimated net worth.

In the ranking, Warren Buffett ranks 10th, just ahead of Nakamoto. This prominence is especially relevant given Buffett's history of criticizing Bitcoin, considering it to have no intrinsic value. The discrepancy between Buffett's opinion and Bitcoin's success has sparked a range of reactions on social media.
This news highlights Bitcoin's growing relevance in the global financial landscape, demonstrating how Nakamoto, despite being anonymous, is gaining prominence as the cryptocurrency gains a prominent place among the world's largest assets.
