Adam Back clarified on the X platform that he is not Satoshi Nakamoto, but since 1992 he has been involved in research on electronic cash and privacy technology, helping to drive the development of Hashcash. This response was in reply to a report by The New York Times, which suggested that he shares many similarities with Nakamoto.

On-chain reports show that about 6.7 million bitcoins are stored in addresses that are vulnerable to quantum computing attacks, some of which belong to Satoshi Nakamoto. Google’s team warns that these bitcoins face a risk of their private keys being derived due to the use of early P2PK scripts. Experts emphasize that it is crucial to safeguard the security of these assets, and call for advances in quantum protection and the development of regulatory policies to address future threats.

When responding to the potential threats that quantum computing could pose to cryptocurrencies, CZ emphasized that there’s no need to panic. Most cryptocurrencies can defend against the threat through upgrades, but coordinating upgrades across decentralized networks is likely to spark controversy. He warned that projects that have already stopped being maintained are difficult to upgrade and may disappear, while also urging users to migrate to quantum-resistant wallets to protect their assets. In particular, for the Bitcoin held by Satoshi Nakamoto, if quantum computing matures, it may need to be locked up or destroyed to prevent attacks. Overall, he believes that cryptocurrency is generally easier to secure than to crack.

As of the beginning of 2026, Satoshi Nakamoto is still the world’s largest Bitcoin holder, holding about 1.096 million BTC. Other major holders include exchanges, ETF issuers, and governments, and the holdings of BlackRock and the U.S. government are both significant.

ChainCatcher News: NBA retired star Scottie Pippen posted a Bitcoin futures chart, comparing the 2020 bull market start with the current pattern, implying a similar surge is imminent. Pippen has previously made several crypto-friendly comments and stated that he personally met Satoshi Nakamoto in 1993.

ChainCatcher reports that, according to Arkham data, at 13:18, 649.45 BTC (worth approximately $43.97 million) was transferred from an anonymous address (starting with 1GFsAPFa...) to multiple addresses, including Satoshi Nakamoto's address (starting with 1A1zP1eP...).

A special on-chain transfer has sparked heated discussion in the crypto community. An unidentified Bitcoin user sent approximately 2.56 BTC to the Bitcoin Genesis address, which was worth nearly $180,000 at the time. This address is directly linked to the first block created in 2009 and is widely regarded as the symbolic "starting wallet" left by Satoshi Nakamoto. On-chain blockchain data shows that this fund was only received in a one-way flow, with no records of any outgoing transactions. Since the private key associated with the Genesis address has never been used, it is generally believed to have been lost or permanently invalidated. Therefore, any Bitcoin sent to this address can no longer circulate, effectively "locked" on the chain. After this transfer, the total balance of the address has exceeded 57 BTC, worth several million dollars.

PANews February 9 News, according to Cointelegraph monitoring, last weekend, an anonymous individual transferred 2.565 Bitcoins (approximately $181,000) to Satoshi Nakamoto's genesis address.

On February 6th, news reports indicate that as Bitcoin prices have retreated from their high levels at the end of 2025, the massive Bitcoin holdings of its mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, have also significantly decreased in value. Based on current market prices, the approximately 1.1 million Bitcoins attributed to Satoshi are worth about $71 billion, whereas during the peak a few months ago, this figure exceeded $130 billion, with a loss of over $60 billion. This change is not due to selling activity. On-chain data shows that wallets associated with Satoshi have been in long-term dormancy since around 2010, with no large-scale transfers ever occurring. These addresses are considered "effectively locked," accounting for about 5% of the total Bitcoin supply, and are the largest known single holdings in the market. Because of this, they are viewed as "sleeping Bitcoins" that will not enter circulation, having a long-term impact on market structure.

January 21 News, as the market gradually unfolds in the first quarter of 2026, XRP price forecasts have once again become a focal point of market discussion. Currently, XRP is trading at $1.91, down slightly by 1.81% intraday, with a weekly decline of about 10.6%, but it still maintains a positive return of approximately 4% since the beginning of the year. This trend indicates that XRP is in a typical consolidation zone, with ongoing battles between bulls and bears, and investors are more focused on the potential highs over the next four months. Analyst CORE Satoshi from X platform provided a relatively clear range, believing that XRP is expected to trade between $2 and $4 in the coming months. If the price truly reaches $4, it would double from the current level and also set a new all-time high. He describes this outlook as a "steady upward trend," rather than an extreme explosive rally, assuming macroeconomic conditions and market sentiment in the crypto space gradually improve.
