Analysis
This probability reflects the likelihood that Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin's pseudonymous creator, will initiate any transaction from known addresses associated with the original wallet holdings accumulated during Bitcoin's early years. The 10% probability suggests markets view movement as unlikely through 2026. Key factors influencing this assessment include Satoshi's 11+ year pattern of inactivity despite massive Bitcoin appreciation, the technical feasibility of moving coins, and the absence of credible evidence suggesting changed circumstances. The resolution depends on blockchain analysis confirming transactions from Satoshi-attributed addresses, which would be immediately verifiable but unexpected given historical precedent. Movements would likely signal either identity revelation, estate activity, or changed motivations—events with no clear trigger date but immense market-moving potential if they occurred.
- ›Satoshi has not moved Bitcoin since 2009 despite price increasing from pennies to tens of thousands of dollars, establishing a strong historical pattern of non-activity
- ›Approximately 1 million Bitcoin remains in addresses linked to Satoshi's early mining activity, currently worth ~$30-50 billion depending on price, creating incentives that have not motivated movement thus far
- ›Any transaction would be cryptographically verifiable and immediately detectable on the public blockchain, leaving no ambiguity about resolution
- ›No scheduled event or date would trigger Satoshi movement; resolution depends entirely on a discretionary decision by an unknown actor
- ›Market uncertainty primarily reflects whether Satoshi is deceased, has lost access to private keys, remains voluntarily inactive, or will emerge during the 2026 calendar year

MicroStrategy Bitcoin Sale Probability Surges 23¢ in One Day
The prediction that MicroStrategy will sell some of its Bitcoin holdings by December 31, 2026 shot up 23¢ to 73¢ on Polymarket, with the June 30 deadline rising 17¢ to 47¢. The sudden move likely reflects market speculation about forced liquidation or a strategic pivot. The high‑volume Bitcoin $150k contract remains at 1¢, but the $100k threshold is now at 46¢.

The Polymarket contract for 'MicroStrategy sells any Bitcoin by December 31, 2026' surged 22¢ to 71¢, marking the largest one-day move in any crypto-related market.

How we compute these odds
SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.
For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.
Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
