Many have the question lingering in the back of the mind of who has the largest bitcoin wallet? In september 2016 the FBI shutdown the online silk road and started to seize the bitcoin that was being used to buy illegal goods. The FBI now controls more than 144,000 bitcoin, which is currently equivalent to $421,920,000USD. Although this is an anstonishing amount of bitcoin the FBI isn't the largest bitcoin holder, the person that is said to have the most amount of bitcoin is bitcoins inventor Satoshi Nakamoto. Satoshi is a figure that has been working in the shadows, and his real identity isn't known (which is probably for a good cause). It has been estimated that satoshi as mined at least 1 million bitcoin, which is worth a whopping $2,943,516,104. Now it would be risky just having one wallet with over 2 billion dollars on it, so he has hundreds some with just 50 bitcoins on each, makes it a lot safer.
