Disappearing Satoshi statue in Lugano stolen, 0.1 BTC offered for its return
The disappearing Satoshi statue, symbolizing Bitcoin’s anonymity, was stolen in Lugano. Organizers are offering 0.1 BTC to anyone who helps retrieve it.
A statue honoring the mysterious Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto has been stolen from Parco Ciani in Lugano, Switzerland.
The theft was confirmed by Satoshigallery, the group behind the global Satoshi statue initiative, which is now offering a 0.1 Bitcoin (BTC) reward (worth over $11,000) for information leading to its recovery.
“Where is Satoshi?” the group posted on X on Sunday. “You can steal our symbol but you will never be able to steal our souls,” the statement read, reaffirming their commitment to install the statue in 21 cities around the world despite the setback.
