The enigmatic Bitcoin founder now has an estimated net worth of $106 billion, surpassing Bloomberg L.P. co-founder Michael Bloomberg. 

Satoshi is also on track to move ahead of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.

According to blockchain sleuth Chainalysis, Satoshi's Bitcoin holdings stand at 1.124 million BTC. However, this sum might not take into account some additional wallets.

The unresolved mystery surrounding Satoshi's identity remains a major wild card, and its reappearance could cause market mayhem. 

Earlier this year, HBO released a much-talked-about documentary that identified Canadian cryptographer Peter Todd as the creator of Bitcoin. However, it was widely panned within the cryptocurrency community after failing to bring anything new to the table.
