【When Data Starts to Speak: Understanding the "Silent Wealth" in Satoshi Nakamoto's Account】

What does 1 million Bitcoins really represent?

Let's break down some numbers first. The total supply of Bitcoin is 21 million coins, and this mysterious founder holds 4.76%. To put it another way—if this 1 million coins were evenly distributed among the 8 billion people on Earth, each person would get 0.000125 coins. It seems negligible, but in another unit: at 400 coins stored per hardware wallet, it’s enough to fill 2,500 wallets.

Even more interesting is the market impact. Once these 1 million Bitcoins move, the maximum transfer value in a single day exceeds $40 billion—what does this number mean? It’s equivalent to Ukraine’s entire military budget for 2023. If dumped into the market all at once, it could trigger over 20% volatility in the crypto market. Based on an annualized mining yield of 5%, passive income alone would exceed $2 billion per year, surpassing the annual GDP of over 60 countries.

But what’s truly frightening is the explosion of wealth over time:
- 2009: 10,000 Bitcoins could buy only two pizzas
- 2017: 1 million coins ≈ $170 billion
- 2021 peak: 1 million coins ≈ $690 billion
- 2024 now: 1 million coins fluctuate around $600 billion

What’s the value increase over 15 years? Over 30 million times.

Positioned on the global wealth list, this wealth ranks among the top 30 individuals worldwide. Surpassing the annual net profit of UBS Group. Equivalent to the combined total size of three Bitcoin spot ETFs at the beginning of 2024.

Behind these numbers, the most shocking thing isn’t the amount itself, but a person’s choice.

Over more than a decade, the account remained untouched. Zero cash-outs, refusing the chance to become the "world’s richest person." Upholding a principle: code is law, decentralization is above personal wealth. Even the creator chose to obey mathematics rather than dominate it, which may be the true reason Bitcoin is unbreakable.

This is not just wealth; it’s a physical proof of an era’s belief.
