Cryptocurrency analyst Seán Murray has made a sweeping claim that Jack Dorsey, founder of social media platform Twitter, could be Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious founder of Bitcoin. Murray stated that he supports this theory based on many details, from technical background to personal connections. According to Murray, Bitcoin's source code, written in C++, is noteworthy because it confirms that Jack Dorsey had been coding in C++ and C since the mid-1990s. Dorsey is alleged to have the capacity to create Bitcoin's technical infrastructure. It's alleged that the first tweet, posted by Jack Dorsey's close friend Crystal Taylor on the beta version of Twitter in 2006, was “Satoshi,” a reference to DJ Satoshi Tomiie. Another interesting detail is that the mascot of Dorsey's alma mater, the University of Missouri-Rolla, was the Miners. Dorsey reportedly shared cryptography-related content on his personal website in the 1990s, was a member of the Cypherpunk community, and linked to the sites of Hal Finney and Adam Back, two individuals who were early Bitcoin supporters and first contacts with Satoshi. Murray points out that between December 2010 and April 2011, when Satoshi was publicly missing, Dorsey was in the process of returning to Twitter and Visa invested in Square (now Block). During this period, Bitcoin was in the spotlight thanks to WikiLeaks' donations, and Visa's embargoes on WikiLeaks may have created a conflict between Dorsey's public persona and his Satoshi persona. Numerological coincidences are also highlighted, such as the date Satoshi joined the Bitcoin forum, November 19th, being the same date as Jack Dorsey's birthday, and the fact that the first Bitcoin transaction sent to Hal Finney occurred on January 11th, Dorsey's mother's birthday. Furthermore, another piece of evidence suggests that Satoshi's leaked IP address originated in California in 2009, and that Dorsey was living there at the time.

According to a 2024 report by 1A1z, Jack Dorsey is the primary financier of Bitcoin's development.

Dorsey's quiet but influential role in every major Bitcoin milestone Murray argues that Jack Dorsey's technical knowledge and personal history offer strong evidence that he could be Satoshi Nakamoto. While many previous Satoshi accusers have denied these claims, Dorsey's contradictory responses to the allegations make the allegations even more compelling. *This is not investment advice.
