The widely cited estimate that Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto mined about 1.1 million BTC remains based on circumstantial evidence rather than proof of ownership. Bitquery's reconstruction of the Patoshi mining pattern across Bitcoin's first 54,316 blocks attributed approximately 22,000 to 23,500 blocks, or about 22%, to a single entity. The analysis correlated 99.2% with public Patoshi address lists compiled from Sergio Demian Lerner's 2013 research. Bitquery estimated that between 900,000 BTC and 1.17 million BTC were linked to the pattern, while a September 1, 2026 estimate put 1,023,352 BTC in those wallets as unspent. Separate clustering by Arkham Intelligence and Galaxy Research identified about 21,900 to 22,000 addresses holding roughly 1.096 million BTC, also dormant. The pattern began with Bitcoin's genesis block on January 3, 2009, and ended around block 54,000 in mid-2010, near the disappearance of Satoshi Nakamoto's public communications. The timing, custom-looking mining signature and inactivity of the coins support the theory that Patoshi was Satoshi, but no cryptographic evidence identifies the miner or proves control of the wallets.
