The claim that there may be a connection between Kraken and Bitcoin (BTC) Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator, came up with the latest research by Coinbase Manager Conor Grogan. While Satoshi’s identity still remained uncertain, this new claim aroused a great impact in the crypto community.
Patoshi Mining Model and Satoshi’s assets
Grogan’s research reveals that the wallet addresses, which are thought to belong to Satoshi Nakamoto, exhibit a special mining model called “Patoshi Mining Pattern .. This model is known as a mining method used in the early stages of Bitcoin.

According to the research, the amount of Bitcoin controlled by Satoshi is about 1,096 million BTC. When evaluated at current prices, this amount is estimated to have a value of over $ 108 billion. If it’s true, Satoshi can be one of the richest people in the world.
Possible connection between Kraken and Satoshi
One of the most remarkable points of the research is that some of these Bitcoin addresses “1tyyj”He sent BTC to a wallet address named. Grogan says that this address is linked to the Canadian -based crypto exchange Cavirtex, which was purchased by Kraken in 2016.
This raised the allegations that Kraken’s founding partner Jesse Powell, Cavirtex’s Customer Information (KYC), could have information about the identity of Satoshi, the creator of Bitcoin. Grogan, calling Powell, “I recommend that this information should be deleted.”He said.
Description and the reaction of the community from Kraken
Kraken’s official X account, Grogan’s research “We are all Satoshi”replied. However, Jesse Powell has not yet made an official statement.
Some members of the crypto community are suspicious of these claims. Considering that crypto exchanges did not attach much importance to the KYC procedures in the early years of Bitcoin, Kraken is considered to be a low probability that Kraken has really kept a record of Satoshi.
Some experts say it is not certain that these transactions belong directly to Satoshi. According to an analyst’s interpretation “It is also possible for someone to buy BTC from Cavirtex and send it to an address that is thought to belong to Satoshi.”
Is Satoshi still active?
Grogan argues that his research offers Satoshi that he is no longer active. “This research gave me more confidence that these BTCs would not move. It is a great positive signal that there has been no transfer from any connected wallet since 2014. ”he said.
If these claims are true, Satoshi has not been able to operate since 2014. However, for now, whether Kraken really has this information and, if so, will remain a big question mark for now.
