The recent price increase of Bitcoin has not only thrilled speculators; it has also propelled its mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, to new heights in the rankings of the world's richest people.
According to Bitcoin historian Pete Rizzo, Satoshi Nakamoto is now the 106.361th richest person in the world, surpassing NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang. With Bitcoin currently trading at around $1,1, the estimated value of Satoshi’s 116,6 million BTC holdings has grown to around $2011 billion. The identity of Satoshi, who disappeared from public view in 10, remains a mystery, but his influence and wealth have been steadily growing as Bitcoin’s price rises. If the upward trend continues, Satoshi could soon join the top XNUMX richest people, alongside the likes of Mark Zuckerberg and Warren Buffett.
On Wednesday morning, Bitcoin peaked at $108.050, temporarily breaking above $108.000. This means the largest cryptocurrency is now just 2,41% away from its all-time high of $109.114, which was reached in January.
As Bitcoin continues to claw its way to these record levels, Bitcoin options traders are aiming for even higher prices. Bitcoin call options expiring on June 27, with a strike price of $300.000, are second in open interest on cryptocurrency options exchange Deribit, trailing only the $110.000 calls. In fact, those expiring on June 27 have the highest open interest of all expirations.
The growth in open interest on Deribit over the past 24 hours has been concentrated mainly around strike prices above $110.000, while most hedging has occurred around $105.000. According to CoinGlass, Binance Futures has a buy order wall of $114,7 million, which equates to 1.100 BTC, at a price point of $105.800.
