Is Jack Dorsey Satoshi Nakamoto?
Jack Dorsey was born in 1976 in St. Louis. At the young age of 15, he developed dispatch software that was utilized by taxi firms for years. After dropping out of college and relocating to California, he founded Twitter in 2006. His initial tweet has become iconic, stating: “just setting up my twttr.”
Since the early 2010s, Dorsey has been a major advocate for decentralization. He looked up to cypherpunks like Adam Back. In the 90s, he sported RSA shirts long before the concept of Bitcoin came into being. Upon Bitcoin’s emergence in 2009, he quickly became one of its first high-profile supporters.
In 2009, Jack Dorsey launched Square, initially starting as a basic card reader. Under his guidance, the firm rebranded to Block in 2021 and rapidly became a leading corporate advocate for BTC.
Dorsey’s base level of Bitcoin through his business ventures began well before 2021, as Block (then Square) integrated Bitcoin into its Cash App in January 2021 and simultaneously started financing open-source blockchain developers through Block’s Bitcoin initiative, Spiral.
During a Bitcoin TV podcast featuring Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) founder Michael Saylor, Jack Dorsey claimed that Bitcoin will “bring together a divided world,” even suggesting that rectifying monetary systems could lead to global peace.

Numerous Mysteries and Coincidences Support the Dorsey as Satoshi Theories
In 2009, the year BTC was established, intriguing theories emerged suggesting that Jack Dorsey is Satoshi Nakamoto. During this period, many individuals began to observe peculiar parallels with Dorsey’s life.
To start, the first Bitcoin transaction coincided with Dorsey’s mother’s birthday, and the last block ever mined by Satoshi occurred on his father’s birthday. Moreover, the Satoshi BTC forum account was created on November 19, which is Dorsey’s own birthday.
Additionally, in 2009, Satoshi entered an IRC channel without masking his IP address, which traced back to California. At that moment, Dorsey was residing and working in San Francisco, California.
Then, five years later, in 2014, a hacker who accessed Satoshi’s email claimed he was from St. Louis, which just happens to be Jack Dorsey’s hometown.
There exist further, smaller pieces of evidence bolstering this hypothesis. For instance, it’s believed that Dorsey donned Adam Back’s RSA shirts throughout the 90s.
Dr. Adam Back initially introduced the RSA shirt design in 1995 to protest the US government’s designation of the RSA encryption code as a weapon, making it illegal to export to non-US citizens. The shirt displayed a five-line encryption software program on the front and excerpts from the US Bill of Rights on the back, emphasizing the significance of code as a form of free expression.
Lastly, it is suggested that Jack Dorsey traveled to Japan weeks prior to the domain BTC.org being registered, and he wrote in 2001 about “making an impact on the world without leaving a trace,” which many interpret as precisely what Satoshi Nakamoto aspired to achieve with the creation of BTC.
Dorsey Has Kind of Denied Being Satoshi
Jack Dorsey has mostly dismissed the rumors of him being the notorious Bitcoin creator. During a 2020 podcast with Lex Fridman, he smiled and stated, “No. And if I was, would I reveal it?”
Many experts concur and regard the theory as mere coincidence. Detractors of the Dorsey as Satoshi assertion quickly emphasize that unlike most cypherpunks of his generation, he was a notably public figure who frequently shared updates on his activities.
To provide context, around the time when Bitcoin was officially launched (2009 and 2010), Jack Dorsey tweeted over 6,200 times, offering a significantly larger dataset compared to Satoshi, who logged fewer than 1,000 timestamped events during the same timeframe.
During that period in 2009 & 2010, Jack Dorsey not only held the role of Chairman of Twitter’s Board, but also served as CEO of the emerging startup Square. He was an incredibly busy individual, overseeing multiple companies, traveling the globe, meeting influential figures, participating in press interviews, speaking at conferences, supporting philanthropic causes, and more.
Consequently, his engagements do not align with the profile of someone who had the capacity and mental resources to create an entirely new financial system from the ground up while remaining perfectly anonymous. Still, Dorsey remains an intriguing candidate for the individual behind the Satoshi Nakamoto persona.
