Meta-backed case seeks high court ruling on bitcoin founder’s identity

Crypto Open Patent Alliance wants court in London to declare that Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto

An Australian computer scientist's claim to be the mythical figure behind bitcoin will be challenged in the UK on Monday, in a high court case backed by Mark Zuckerberg's Meta and the Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey.

Craig Wright has asserted for years that he is the real Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous author of the 2008 white paper behind the world's cornerstone cryptocurrency, but has failed to prove it.
