Why It Matters: The identity of Satoshi Nakamoto has been a subject of intense speculation and intrigue since the inception of Bitcoin.

Apart from Back, Australian computer scientist Craig Wright, late American software developer Hal Finney, and Litecoin LTC/USD creator Charlie Lee‘s names have been suspected of being Nakamoto.

That said, in July earlier this year, Wright, who had himself claimed to be Nakamoto, was ordered by a UK judge to publicly deny being the Bitcoin founder.

Nakamoto is purported to have 1.1 million Bitcoin as of February 2024, according to on-chain analytics platform Arkham Intelligence, making him one of the richest people in the world.

Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $61,155.33, up 0.04% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
