According to Arkham data, Nakamoto Island, the creator of Bitcoin's pseudonym, is believed to hold an estimated 1.096 million BTC. Satoshi's wallets held everything from mining networks early on, but have remained untouched since it ran on several laptops in 2010.
Satoshi accumulated this Bitcoin and mined more than 22,000 blocks between 2009 and 2010. He was one of Bitcoin's first few miners, with block rewards exceeding 50 BTC at the time.
According to Arkham data, Nakamoto at is currently worth $119,640,092,296 ($119,640,640 million) with its current Bitcoin price of $109,125.
The current Bitcoin equivalent is $119.64 billion, and Nakamoto at ranks among the wealthiest individuals on the planet, but none of the BTCs have moved.
Satoshi's Bitcoin Holdings' fate has been predicted
Satoshi's Bitcoin Holding, accumulated from early network mining, has not been mentioned since 2010, but recent concerns about quantum computing seem to change this narrative.
Satoshi coins will be dumped into the market. In 2-8 years, Quantum beats Bitcoin. These are scientifically calculated timelines. You need to upgrade your Bitcoin now. We're running out of time.

In light of this, Charles Edwards, founder of the Capriole Fund, speculates about what the fate of Satoshi Coins is.
As quantum computing continues to progress, a timeline emerges when a sufficiently powerful quantum computer can crack modern encryption algorithms.
Edwards states that this timeline is between 2 and 8 years (2027-2033) and that this range is a “scientifically calculated timeline.”
The timeline when cryptocurrency crypto standards can be cracked by strong enough quantum computers is when it is causing debate among blockchain developers, and the transition to quantum-resistant encryption must occur. Edwards showed that the time to upgrade Bitcoin is running out.
