Craig Steven Wright (born October 1970, Australia) is an Australian computer scientist and businessman who has publicly claimed since 2016 to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin — a claim comprehensively rejected by courts, cryptographers, and the broader cryptocurrency community. Wright became a persistent and divisive figure in Bitcoin discourse throughout the late 2010s and early 2020s, and his repeated assertions, legal campaigns, and connection to the Bitcoin SV fork generated extensive coverage on The Bitcoin Group and across the World Crypto Network, where panelists were nearly unanimous in their skepticism.
