Kraken and Satoshi Nakamoto: A hidden connection?

According to enterprise Blockchain’s analysis, the known possessions of Satoshi Bitcoin total 1,096,354 tokens, valued at US $ 107 billion at current prices.

In addition, Satoshi distributed his BTC treasure in more than 22,000 wallet addresses. Includes the only known addresses of which Satoshi spent BTC. Arkham identified These addresses from the Patoshi standard.

To contextualize, the Patoshi standard refers to a distinct mining pattern identified in Bitcoin’s first blockchain and many believe it is linked to the Bitcoin creator.

The coinbase director examined the activity of Satoshi Nakamoto’s portfolios and shared his discoveries in an X (former Twitter) topic. In fact, he noted that these wallets cannot be definitely linked to Satoshi, but the evidence strongly suggests that they belong to the Bitcoin creator.

In total, this research points out that Satoshi has 1.096 million BTC, worth approximately $ 108 billion, making it richer on role than Bill Gates, Grogan he wrote.

He suggested that Nakamoto moved Bitcoin in blockchain for the last time in 2014. Interestingly, Grogan’s analysis revealed evidence pointing to Kraken to have knowledge about Satoshi Nakamoto.

Grogan found 24 addressi -connected addressi output transactions. The most remarkable destination was the 1pyyj wallet, which allegedly received BTC from Cavirtex, an extinguished Canadian cryptocurrency exchange.

I believe this is the first Onchain record between a wallet linked to Satoshi and a CEX, he commented.

This means that Satoshi may have interacted with a centralized Exchange, potentially leaving a digital trail. Historically, Nakamoto has always been very cautious with privacy, making any connection to a remarkable regulated entity.

In 2016, Kraken acquired Cavirtx. Therefore, Grogan has speculated that Kraken CEO Jesse Powell can know Satoshi’s true identity. However, it depended on that they had some record of knowing their client (KYC) about this portfolio.

My advice to him would be to delete the data, Grogan suggested.

This is not everything. The 1Pyyj address seems to be linked to 12IB financing. This Bitcoin address is among the largest assets, currently containing more than $ 3 billion in BTC.

This strengthens the theory that 1pyyj was controlled by Satoshi or a Bitcoin initial adopter and collaborator.

Kraken rekindle mystery about Satoshi Nakamoto after allegations of coinbase director

In addition, Grogan pointed out the possibility that the 500 BTC sent to 1Pyyj in 2010 may have been a payment to another part, potentially revealing a new documented transaction of the Satoshi era.

In response to Grogan’s allegations, Kraken posted an enigmatic tweet.

WE ARE ALL SATOSHI, A publication He said.

Although this does not confirm Kraken’s knowledge about Nakamoto’s identity, he raises questions about whether Exchange has information that could unravel Bitcoin’s greatest mystery.

Previously, Craig Wright He claimed to be the creator of Bitcoin. However, the court legally rejected its claim. Meanwhile, HBO’s documentary explored the possibility that Bitcoin’s central developer Peter Todd, be Nakamoto – an allegation he firmly denies.

In October 2024, a London press conference presented Stephen Mollah, claiming to be the creator of Bitcoin.
