Michael Saylor, chairman of Strategy, has publicly rejected the findings of a New York Times investigation that identified Adam Back as the creator of Bitcoin, citing lack of conclusive evidence. In a statement, Saylor emphasized that stylometric analysis alone cannot prove Satoshi's identity and requires a signature using Satoshi's private key for confirmation.
Saylor pointed to emails exchanged between Satoshi and Adam Back in 2008 as evidence that they are separate individuals. He also reaffirmed his view that Bitcoin should operate as a decentralised monetary network without reliance on a specific founder or leader, aligning with the philosophy of the cryptocurrency itself.
