Michael Saylor refutes claim that Adam Back is Satoshi Nakamoto
April 08, 2026, 8:21 PM
MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor has refuted a claim by New York Times (NYT) investigative reporter John Carreyrou that Blockstream CEO Adam Back may be Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto, calling the assertion a "clear error." In a post on X, Saylor noted that while the NYT's argument is based on a statistical analysis of writing style and language habits, it contains a contradiction. He explained that Satoshi Nakamoto actively communicated with Adam Back, and an analysis of their email exchanges reveals they are two different individuals. Saylor emphasized that until someone signs a message with Satoshi's private keys, all such theories are merely claims.
