Whale Alert's 'The Satoshi Fortune' — analysis confirms Satoshi mined ~1.125 million BTC
Blockchain tracking service Whale Alert published an independent analysis confirming Satoshi mined 1,125,150 BTC across 22,503 of the first 54,316 blocks. The report claimed Satoshi used ~48 computers (or CPU threads), though this was disputed one month later by Lerner's re-mining simulation proving a single multi-threaded PC. The report's core finding — that Satoshi mined to protect the network, not for profit — aligns with the broader research consensus.
