Satoshi Nakamoto Statue Stolen From Lugano’s Parco Ciani

Authorities in Lugano, Switzerland, are investigating the theft of a bronze statue depicting Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. The artwork, installed in Parco Ciani, was reported missing on 3 Aug. after park staff discovered its plinth empty.

The sculpture had been unveiled on 25 Oct. 2024 during the city’s Plan ₿ Forum, part of Lugano’s effort to brand itself as a hub for digital-asset innovation. Organisers have offered a reward of 0.1 bitcoin—about US$6,000 at current prices—for information leading to its recovery.
