Discussion about the speculated private key of Satoshi Nakamoto sparks heated debate
2026-08-18 20:30:05
According to CoinMeta, recent discussions regarding Satoshi Nakamoto’s private key have once again become the focus of the global cryptocurrency community. According to data from Arkham Intelligence, Satoshi Nakamoto’s digital wallet holds approximately 1.096 million Bitcoins, valued at around $70.43 billion at current prices. Although some claim that this wealth can be obtained by randomly guessing 24 words, technical experts quickly refuted this claim, pointing out that even with a computing power capable of generating one trillion combinations per second, the probability of finding the specific 24-word mnemonic phrase would be about 1.8 trillion years, which is far longer than the age of the universe. Experts emphasize that Satoshi Nakamoto’s wealth cannot be accessed with just a single mnemonic phrase, and his Bitcoins are distributed across more than 22,000 separate, older P2PK addresses; attackers would have to crack each wallet individually.
