Who owns Bitcoin?

Bitcoin has no single owner or company behind it.

It was created in 2008 by a mysterious person (or group) known as Satoshi Nakamoto.

Satoshi mined the first Bitcoin block in 2009, then disappeared — their true identity is still unknown.

Bitcoin is decentralized, meaning no government, bank, or individual controls it.

The network is maintained by millions of computers worldwide (miners & nodes).

👉 In short: No one owns Bitcoin — it belongs to the community and the blockchain system itself.
