The possibility of Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin moving has been raised, and tension is spreading across the market.

According to a report by TheStreet on April 22 (local time), a trader predicted that Satoshi Nakamoto might actually move the Bitcoin he holds in 2026. This claim garnered attention because a large amount of dormant holdings, if they enter the market, could significantly impact prices.

The amount believed to be held by Satoshi is known to be approximately 1 million BTC, which constitutes a significant portion of the total supply. Concerns have been raised that if such a volume were to enter the market, it could have repercussions beyond mere transactions.

To date, Satoshi's wallet has shown no movement for many years. This 'complete dormancy' has been considered a key factor in maintaining Bitcoin's scarcity and market trust.

The trader pointed out that with recent changes in market structure and rising prices, the possibility of early holders acting cannot be entirely ruled out. Given that there have been instances of large amounts of Bitcoin moving from long-dormant wallets in the past, the market could react sensitively.

While this scenario remains a mere prediction, the mere possibility of a large volume moving is acting as a factor stimulating market volatility. Investors are closely monitoring on-chain movements and large wallet flows.
