The recent Bitcoin market downturn significantly impacted the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. According to analytics platform Arkham, the 1.096 million BTC in Satoshi’s untouched wallet lost $47 billion, bringing his net worth down to $90.7 billion. This drop placed him at 20th on the Forbes billionaire list, just behind Bill Gates.
