Based on Arkham data, the value of Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin holdings has dropped by over $4 billion in the last four days.
According to recent Arkham data, Satoshi’s Bitcoin holdings are nearly $116 billion, a more than $4 billion decline from the $120 billion reported by Arkham on May 26. Bitcoin has fallen since May 26, when its price rose beyond $110,000.
Bitcoin achieved a high of $110,474 on May 26; bullish attempts to reclaim the $111,000 level culminated in highs of $110,829 on May 27, following which Bitcoin began to decline.
Bitcoin has dropped three days in a row since this date and is currently trading in red as the crypto market fell in the early Friday session, with over $703 million of crypto positions liquidated. Bullish traders accounted for the majority of this figure, which came in at $640 million.
Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, is believed to hold nearly 1.1 million BTC spread across early-mined addresses. These coins have never moved and are considered “off-market,” but their theoretical value still attracts attention during major market moves.
