The legendary disappearing Satoshi Nakamoto statue, the one that literally fades into thin air, is now staring down traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.
This marks the sixth home for Valentina Picozzi’s mind-bending Satoshi Nakamoto statue, and honestly, it feels like the final boss level of mainstream adoption.
The NYSE itself called it “shared ground between emerging systems and established institutions.” This means that even the oldest stock exchange on the planet is ready to admit crypto isn’t going anywhere.

Who is behind the Satoshi Nakamoto statue?
Twenty-One Capital, a brand-new Bitcoin-focused firm that started trading this weekend, decided the best housewarming gift was ever planting a Satoshi Nakamoto statue right under the famous bell.
Valentina Picozzi, the genius artist behind the disappearing Satoshi Nakamoto statue series, could barely contain herself on X.
And the timing? Chef’s kiss. The statue showed up just one day after the anniversary of the Bitcoin mailing list launch on December 10, 2008. Pure poetry.
From total rejection to red-carpet treatment in 16 years, that’s Bitcoin’s glow-up.
The disappearing effect on every Satoshi Nakamoto statue is deliberate. Picozzi wants you to feel the mystery, the hood, the visor, and the slow fade into nothing. Satoshi is no longer a person you can identify or point to. Satoshi lives in the code.
