Satoshi's Bitcoin stash loses $20 billion in value following market crash
Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin wallets have witnessed a decline of over $20 billion in value following a recent market crash that affected many cryptocurrencies, some losing up to 99% of their value. The unrealized loss occurred since Bitcoin's all-time high of over $126,000 in early October, with Satoshi's stash of over 1 million BTC valued at approximately $117.5 billion. The decline was exacerbated by investor fears of a renewed trade war following comments from U.S. President Donald Trump. Analysts from The Kobeissi Letter argue that this market crash does not have long-term implications for fundamentals and speculate that a trade deal will eventually stabilize the market. They noted that despite the crash, Bitcoin remained resilient, staying above $100,000, and highlighted the unusual concurrent rise of risk-on and store-of-value assets, like gold and Bitcoin, suggesting an ongoing macroeconomic shift towards these crypto assets.
