I've just noticed an interesting shift in the conversation about Satoshi Nakamoto. It seems that industry leaders in the crypto space are signaling that the search for the creator of Bitcoin is no longer urgent.
When discussing the film Finding Satoshi, executives from major crypto companies agree that Satoshi has become a part of history, no longer a marketing factor. MicroStrategy's CEO pointed out that Bitcoin is accepted through its virtues and humility rather than efforts to reveal the founder's identity. Coinbase's CEO also supports this view, stating that Bitcoin's code and economic model now stand on their own, regardless of who laid the foundation in 2008.
What’s interesting is that the theory suggesting Satoshi might be partners like Hal Finney and Len Sassaman is considered the most market-neutral. The key advantage of this theory is that both have passed away (Finney in 2014 and Sassaman in 2011), meaning there’s no risk of Satoshi suddenly releasing 1.1 million coins into the market. Additionally, confirmation from their families helps limit speculation and shifts the image of Satoshi from a mysterious controller to a tragic genius.
But what really matters is that the total number of Bitcoins has grown beyond any individual creator. Currently, MicroStrategy holds 815,000 BTC, and BlackRock holds 806,000 BTC. This means their combined holdings have truly become the "Satoshi" of today. It also makes the network more decentralized and secure from risks posed by any single person, which could be the best thing for Bitcoin in the long run.
