Bitcoin reached a significant milestone by surging past the $118,000 price level, underscoring renewed bullish momentum in cryptocurrency markets. This rally elevated the value of holdings attributed to Bitcoin’s creator Satoshi Nakamoto to approximately $129.38 billion, reinforcing the historical significance of the earliest bitcoin acquisitions.
The accumulation patterns among smaller investors show consistent growth according to blockchain data provider Glassnode. Retail holders collectively added 19,300 bitcoins monthly to their portfolios, demonstrating sustained confidence despite market volatility.
With Nakamoto’s purported 1.096 million bitcoin portion remaining inactive, these holdings represent both the largest individual position and a foundational element of Bitcoin’s market structure.
