satoshi keeps a lot of bitcoin. Is the satoshi really human or just a symbol? it was a mystery until now.

Satoshi is a mystery. but I am sure Satoshi is not an ordinary person, the proof is that he can store his Bitcoin without hackers being able to track his wallet.

Therefore, not many people dare to publish their balance in crypto, because it is very dangerous and hackers are indiscriminate.

In terms of largest quantity in holding Bitcoin is that FBI because at time of raid they also got Hardware wallet and that kept still in office. So largest holder of bitcoin is FBI .

Organizations like FBI only hold bitcoin for a short time, then they will probably hand over to the state treasury soon. So, exposing the story, the US government is probably holding the most bitcoin Grin

If Satoshi Nakamoto the creator of bitcoin can own 1million of bitcoin in July 2017, where the total amount of bitcoin circulation were believed to be about 16.4million at then. I guess Satoshi hold the most bitcoin in the world according to my research.

Well i guess there are some other that has more than how much satoshi owns though this cannot be proven because no one will accept that they are holding that said amount.
and also this is not that accurate because people here tend to deny their wealth instead of admitting it so maybe we are just asking here but no compact answer to be given.
and besides what is the sense of asking this?
when this can't help the growth of bitcoin knowing who holds the most.

I agree with article in quora regarding who hold the most Bitcoin, because so far the information provided by the quora site is quite reliable.
Although it doesn't guarantee 100% accuracy, but for me the assessment of the article does make sense. And if there are people who do not
believe the information from the quora site they cannot be wrong too. Since no one can confirm who is holding the most Bitcoin, we can only
speculate.

Isn't it Satoshi Nakamoto who holds largest number of bitcoin?
I've read somewhere before, he is, but I amn not sure if he is still the one who holds most of bitcoin's circulating supply.
Organizations like FBI possibly are holding one the largest share of bitcoin today.
Are those bitcoins that they had raid became their property?

The debate will continue, each organization or company claiming their superiority only for their propaganda. In fact, it is never possible to get an accurate estimate of who is holding the most bitcoin. That 's all the rumor.

yeah because people enters crypto investments for their own security and privacy so why here when you will broadcast your investment?
then better stay in banks when your account can be opened at anytime by governments or other bank employee (privately of course).
so basically those Data cannot be accurate and will never be,we are still in speculation and estimation but aside from that nothing is concrete.

I don't think that there is a accurate answer to the question, I think most people that own the largest number of Bitcoin will not want to be know for there own safety and also because of the uncertainty around BTC for now. I will say most of this information are just speculative.

We cannot know exactly who holds the most bitcoins right now. The figures we see are for reference only. It's like asking who is the richest person in the world. All for reference only.
No one claims to own the most or richest bitcoins in the world. I have a hypothesis that there is a group of people who bought a lot of bitcoins and kept them at different wallet addresses. Owning bitcoins is legal and private. We cannot know everything for sure.

It's true that no one knows who holds large amounts of bitcoins, they don't want to be present in public, above the sky is the sky this proverb deserves for this.

I've always been interested in this question, but I found a lot of confusing information.
I recently came across this article in Quora, and I wonder how accurate and verified this information is: https://www.quora.com/Who-holds-the-most-bitcoins
According to this article, it seems that Satoshi holds the most bitcoins, between 600,000 and 1,600,000 BTC.
The following are the Winklevoss brothers, with 91,666 bitcoin.
Next is Barry Silbert with 48,000 BTC.
Next in order are Tim Draper with $250,000 worth of BTC and Michael Novogratz with his crypto net worth to be around $700 million – $1 billion.
Do you agree with this assessment from the article or do you have more credible and accurate information?

This assessment can be true but it can also be not, as we all know, bitcoin value is not stable and holders are also not always have an assessment. I don't think that they will give their exact value of bitcoin in other people broadcasting what they have in their bitcoin wallet. Maybe it is true but somewhat maybe not.

There is probably a small group of people around the globe who holds most of the supply of Bitcoin which is currently mined often termed as whales in the market. You can check address with most btc but as far as I am concerned Sathoshi the invisible founder of btc holds most of btc around 1.1 million coins with him which makes him 157th richest person on the earth according to the list with a net worth of approximately $12.5billion at this time and with increase in btc prices it will keep on rising but it will take time for him also to be richest person on earth if he wish to do so because the prices need to cross $160k if he want to beat Jeff Bezos at $175 billion.But still he is on the list with unknown indentity for this time.

Everyone can only give basic assumption like; The first rule of Bitcoin states Never disclose the amount of Bitcoin you hold. Nobody would be that bold enough to reveal their holdings to you or anyone else. The could be hacked or stolen. So whatever information you found on the Quota page is valid until proven otherwise.

This proves that if used correctly, Bitcoin still is pretty much anonymous (OK, pseudo-anonymous).
Clearly some may track down some of the funds to certain persons, but clearly that's far from accurate and clearly they will not tell us all their findings and traceable links for that.
I guess that nobody can tell you 100% if those numbers or the top "owners" are correctly pinpointed.

Who can tell that, CZ, for example, didn't make it yet to top 10?

Is that even accessible?
Bitcoin is vast and so are the holders, so it will be practically impossible knowing the highest holder of btc

No, such info is not 100% certain, there are speculations and suppositions.
If somebody has 1000 smaller wallets (well, not that small, actually), it may be much richer than we think and may stay nicely away of such lists.

When we do talk about single identity on whose holding much number of btc then we cant really have that precise list yet we wont know if there are more who holds more than to those
people being mentioned but;

When we do talk about wallets that do hold of the most number of coins then i would check out this list https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html
most of them are exchange wallets which can be considered out on holding huge lumps of coins . heheh

It seems to me that none of the followers can reveal exactly how many bitcoins he has in his cryptocurrency portfolio. This information is sometimes confidential.

Yup, because it is on their privacy and sometimes there are no proofs that they hold a little amount only but the truth is they hold much more than that. In this world we can believe in what they are saying because they didn't actually spread their identity for their own sake.
