On-Chain Data Debunks Rumors of Satoshi Selling 10,000 BTC

Published at 2026-02-03 12:00:11

On Feb 3, 2026 Arkham posted a tweet saying its on-chain analysis found no signs that Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, moved or sold the roughly 10,000 BTC alleged in a recent rumor. Using wallet-clustering and transaction-pattern tracing, the firm reports no links between the flagged transactions and addresses commonly attributed to early Satoshi-era holdings.

The clarification matters because claims of a large Satoshi sell-off can stoke fear and perceived supply pressure even when unfounded. Arkham’s findings remove that immediate uncertainty and highlight how on-chain forensics can quickly verify — or debunk — market-moving stories, helping traders and long-term holders assess real risk rather than rumors.
