The statue of Bitcoin's enigmatic creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, has been reported missing from Lugano, Switzerland. The artwork, crafted by Italian artist Valentina Picozzi, was installed in October 2024 during the Plan B Forum to symbolize Lugano's commitment to digital currency. It was last seen on August 2, 2025. Satoshigallery, the team responsible for the statue, has confirmed its disappearance and is offering a reward of 0.1 BTC for information leading to its recovery. The incident was initially reported online by user Grittoshi, who speculated that the statue might have been discarded into a nearby lake. While the city and the artist have not yet commented, the theft has stirred reactions within the digital asset community, with figures like Adam Back weighing in. Despite the setback, Satoshigallery intends to continue its project of installing similar statues in 21 cities globally.
