$BTC 🔥 What happens if 1 million BTC from Satoshi is sold?

1. Market sentiment will panic

This is an extremely negative event in terms of psychology. Even without actually needing to sell, just a few wallets belonging to Satoshi moving BTC could cause the price to drop sharply in a matter of minutes.

Satoshi is seen as a 'sacred' symbol in the community – 15 years of silence has helped reinforce long-term trust. If suddenly 'Satoshi returns and dumps', it is a sign of trust being shattered.

2. Impact on BTC price

Assuming 1 million BTC is gradually sold:

That’s nearly 5% of the total maximum Bitcoin supply, and about 10–15% of the current circulating supply.

Just a few hundred thousand BTC sold on the open market could cause the price to drop by tens of percent – quickly.

A large sell-off would put very strong supply pressure on exchanges, causing price drops, triggering stop-loss orders, and potentially leading to a cascade liquidation.

3. Impact on the broader ecosystem

Bitcoin ETFs, large institutions, miners, DeFi, and stablecoins collateralized by BTC could be affected in a chain reaction.

The crypto ecosystem could lose trust in the short or medium term.

Some people may leave the market if they believe that 'Satoshi has lost faith in his own creation'.

⚠️ But: This has never happened

In the past 15 years, there has been no solid evidence that Satoshi ever spent BTC.

Satoshi's absolute silence adds to the 'legend' surrounding him – much like a mystical figure in the modern tech world.
