The true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, remains one of the cryptocurrency world’s most enduring mysteries. Nakamoto’s last known online activity dates back to 2014, leaving a trail of speculation and unconfirmed theories in their wake. 
A recent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by tech entrepreneur and disinformation researcher Dave Troy sought to shed light on this enigma. 
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) <a href="https://twitter.com/davetroy/status/1823331081333928422?s=19">responded</a> by acknowledging the request but ultimately declined to confirm or deny the existence of any records about Satoshi Nakamoto. Notably, the FBI’s response leaves room for interpretation that Satoshi could be “one or more third-party individuals.” 
Dissatisfied with this response, Troy intends to appeal the decision in hopes of obtaining any potentially relevant information the FBI might possess. While this information could contribute to identifying Satoshi, it’s not Troy’s primary objective at this stage.

<h2 id="b-satoshi-s-identity-reveal-attempt-b">Satoshi’s Identity Reveal Attempt</h2> 
The lack of concrete evidence has fueled numerous attempts to unveil Satoshi’s identity. Several individuals have stepped forward claiming to be the creator, with <a href="https://timestabloid.com/who-is-the-mysterious-bitcoin-founder-well-its-not-craig-wright/">Australian computer scientist Craig Wright</a> being the most prominent example. 
However, these claims haven’t been substantiated, and the mystery continues to attract outlandish conspiracy theories. Some even allege the involvement of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Bitcoin’s creation, a notion lacking any credible support. 
One of the more credible contenders for the Satoshi mantle was the late computer scientist Hal Finney. A prominent figure in the cypherpunk movement, Finney received the very first Bitcoin transaction in 2009. 
He also corresponded with Nakamoto during Bitcoin’s early development. However, recent findings presented by Casa cofounder Jameson Lopp suggest Finney may not have been Satoshi after all.

Meanwhile, the landscape of Bitcoin ownership is undergoing a significant shift. Analyst Eric Balchunas <a href="https://twitter.com/EricBalchunas/status/1823080660765900805?s=19">predicts</a> that BlackRock’s recently launched Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) – IBIT – could surpass the holdings attributed to Satoshi within the next year. This is due to the rapid pace of investments flowing into the fund. 
The combined holdings of all U.S. Bitcoin ETFs are already nearing, if not exceeding, the estimated holdings attributed to Satoshi. Furthermore, some experts believe the commonly cited figure of 1.1 million Bitcoins held by Satoshi is likely an overestimation. 
The secrecy surrounding <a href="https://timestabloid.com/revealed-satoshi-nakamoto-warned-against-tagging-bitcoin-as-an-investment/">Satoshi Nakamoto</a> continues to intrigue the cryptocurrency community. While the FBI’s response provides no clarity, it acknowledges that Satoshi is likely a group of individuals. 
As the Bitcoin ecosystem evolves, the true identity of its creator may remain an unsolved puzzle, but efforts to uncover the truth and understand the origins of this digital revolution are far from over.
