Last Saturday, there was intense discussion on social media regarding the potential impact of "quantum computers possibly invading Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin wallet and dumping his holdings." This debate originated from a Bitcoin price chart shared by YouTuber Josh Otten, which showed BTC plummeting to $3. He stated that if a sufficiently powerful quantum computer were to successfully steal the approximately 1 million BTC held by the anonymous Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto and dump it onto the market, such a scenario is possible.In response, long-term Bitcoin holder Willy Woo said, "Many OGs (early Bitcoin holders) would buy in during such a flash crash. The Bitcoin network will survive; most Bitcoin will not face immediate risk." Woo further pointed out that about 4 million BTC are stored in P2PK (Pay-to-Public-Key) addresses, which include Satoshi's Bitcoin. These types of addresses expose the full public key directly on-chain when spent, making them theoretically more susceptible to quantum attacks.He added that once the full public key of a Bitcoin wallet is exposed on-chain, it could face quantum attack risks in the future—because, assuming sufficient computational power, a quantum computer could theoretically derive the private key from the public key. In contrast, newer types of Bitcoin addresses are not as easily susceptible to quantum attacks because they do not expose the full public key on-chain; if the public key is unknown, a quantum computer cannot generate the corresponding private key from it.

Due to the price of Bitcoin dropping more than 30% from its historical high at the beginning of October, Satoshi Nakamoto's net worth in Bitcoin has shrunk by $41 billion in just over a month.According to data from Arkham Intelligence, the total value of Bitcoin holdings associated with the wallets tracked has decreased from $137 billion a month ago to $95.8 billion. When the price of Bitcoin reached an all-time high of $126,080 in early October, the total assets were valued at $137 billion, ranking 11th on the Forbes Billionaires List, above Bill Gates. With the recent drop in Bitcoin's price to around $87,281, the net worth has fallen to $95.8 billion, below Bill Gates ($104.4 billion), dropping to 20th place on the billionaire list.Crypto experts have identified approximately 1.1 million BTC held through the Patoshi Pattern, a unique mining pattern in early Bitcoin blocks. Quantum computing threat: Some believe that as quantum computing technology advances, it poses a "survival threat" to the Bitcoin network (Q-Day), and this anonymous creator may speak out. Joseph Chalom, co-CEO of SharpLink Gaming, stated that he has a bold idea that in the next five to ten years, when the Bitcoin network needs to implement "quantum protection," there may be significant decisions regarding standards and encryption, at which point Satoshi Nakamoto might make an appearance.

According to analyst Emmett Gallic's disclosure on the X platform, Arkham monitoring data shows that the Bitcoin treasury company Nakamoto (formerly Kindly MD) has transferred 1,003 BTC to Cobo as collateral for its previously issued $250 million convertible bond financing. This is also the company's second addition of BTC collateral this week.At that time, the issuance price of this transaction was set at the historical highest price of Bitcoin, $124,000. As the market declines, the pressure on margins is evident, and the risk of excessive leverage needs to be closely monitored.

In response to market disclosure, Nasdaq-listed Bitcoin treasury company Nakamoto has sold 367 Bitcoins. The company's CEO David Bailey clarified in a post on the X platform that these Bitcoins were used for equity investments in digital asset treasury companies (DAT), including Metaplanet, Treasury, and Future. Therefore, it is not a true "sale"; rather, the Bitcoin balance on the corporate balance sheet does not reflect the value of these equity investments.

ChainCatcher news, according to Lugano Plan B, the statue of Satoshi Nakamoto in Lugano, Switzerland has been restored.Previously, on August 2 of this year, the statue was forcibly removed from its base by unknown individuals.

ChainCatcher news, Blockstream co-founder and CEO Adam Back posted on the X platform stating that participating in providing privacy, anonymity, and untraceable funds in P2P networks carries operational risks for nodes. This risk can be traced back decades, and the risks for Bitcoin node operators are not new. Although the risks of Bitcoin are somewhat lower than those of file sharing, as untraceable cash and hard currency, the risks Bitcoin has faced are clearly much higher, because BTC is reforming currency; after all, the risk of separating currency from the state is greater.Although some countries are gradually accepting Bitcoin today and related regulations are becoming more open, in certain countries it still remains in a gray area or illegal status. Therefore, even core developers may face significant risks from early exposure of their identities. It makes sense that Satoshi Nakamoto recognized this risk, which is why he chose to remain anonymous when issuing Bitcoin.

ChainCatcher news, Nakamoto, a subsidiary of the Nasdaq-listed healthcare company KindlyMD, has committed to invest up to $30,000,000 to participate in Metaplanet's global stock issuance, marking its largest investment to date and its first investment in an Asian listed company adopting a Bitcoin funding strategy.Metaplanet announced on Tuesday that it plans to issue 385 million new shares to raise approximately $1,400,000,000 to support its Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
