$1.2 Million Sent to Satoshi Nakamoto’s Wallet

As most of you know, Bitcoin was launched in 2009. Satoshi Nakamoto It was created by a person or group using the pseudonym and published as open source. Since Satoshi Nakamoto does not even make transactions on the Bitcoin network, we do not even know whether he is alive or not. As such, many conspiracy theories are floating around, and the news we will tell you today may pave the way for new theories.

An unknown person accessed Satoshi Nakamoto’s Genesis wallet on the Bitcoin network the other day. 26.9 Bitcoins sent this amount, approx. for $1.2 million It coincides. The Bitcoin transfer in question, which took place on January 5 and cost a transaction fee of exactly 100 dollars, rightfully raised new question marks.

“Either Satoshi woke up or someone burned a million dollars”

One of the most popular cryptocurrency platforms in the world Administrator of Coinbase Conor Grogan said in his post about the transfer:Either Satoshi woke up and bought 27 Bitcoins from Binance and deposited them into his wallet, or someone burned a million dollars” he said.

The interesting thing is that the 26.9 Bitcoins in question were not transferred directly from one wallet to another. According to the blockchain analysis platform Arkham Intelligence, Bitcoins, which were initially in three different wallets, were distributed to 12 wallets. It was then consolidated into a single wallet on Binance. And then Satoshi 1 Transferred to Genesis wallet named.

$1.2 million was deposited into the wallet, which has been dormant for 14 years…

The main detail that makes the subject interesting is that there has been no movement made by Nakamoto in the Genesis wallet in question since Satoshi Nakamoto disappeared in 2010. In wallet when Nakamoto disappeared 50 Bitcoins was located. With small amounts sent over time, the number increased to 73 Bitcoins in late 2023. With the last transfer, it has reached 100 bitcoins.

Despite everything, we can say that the millions of dollars in the Genesis wallet are a very small part of Satoshi Nakamoto’s wealth. Because it is estimated that Nakamoto owns 1.1 million bitcoins, the current equivalent of this amount is approximately 47 billion dollars. A great fortune for someone we are not even sure is alive…
