According to various news reports, Ulbricht had approximately 144,000 Bitcoin back in 2013 and were worth around $28 million but what happened to those funds is unclear.

As it stands, I do not accept the story of the 6400 BTC as there was no source mentioned in the tweet. Which of these addresses supposedly belongs to Ulbricht: https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html

A dormant address containing 6400 #BTC (678,400,177 USD) has just been activated after 13.0 years!

Fact check: the author of the tweet has admitted it was a joke:
