Craig Wright, the self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto, filed copyright registrations for the Bitcoin whitepaper and the original Bitcoin code with the US Copyright Office.
Copyright registrations for Bitcoin's original whitepaper.
One of the most controversial figures in the crypto industry, Craig Wright, saw his claims to the crypto throne culminate today after being granted copyright claims to the original Bitcoin whitepaper and software code.
The Copyright Office granted Wright two copyrights-one for the whitepaper titled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System," and the other for "Bitcoin," the cryptocurrency's original code.
"Wright is now legally establishing that he is Bitcoin's creator after being dismayed to see his original Bitcoin design bastardized by protocol developer groups-first by Bitcoin Core in 2017 and then again by Bitcoin Cash developers in 2018," said Wright-sympathetic news site CoinGeek.
The registration recognized Wright as being the author of the whitepaper under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, as well as being responsible for writing "Most of version 0.1 of the Bitcoin client software."
Jimmy Nguyen, the president of nChain, where Wright is chief scientist, said that the company was "Thrilled" that Wright was recognized as the author of Bitcoin's whitepaper.
"Better than anyone else, Craig understands that Bitcoin was created be a massively scaled blockchain to power the world's electronic cash for billions of people to use, and be the global data ledger for the biggest enterprise applications," said Nguyen.
