Satoshi statue appears in Miami as fifth global tribute to Bitcoin

Miami unveiled a new Satoshi statue, the fifth installation in a global series honoring Satoshi Nakamoto and Bitcoin.

Why Miami hosts a satoshi statue now

The work is part of an international project by artist Valentina Picozzi to place 21 statues of Bitcoin’s creator worldwide. The number 21 nods to the protocol hard cap of 21 million units in circulation, no more, no less. Moreover, the plan highlights how public art can track crypto”s expanding cultural footprint.

The United States could not be absent from the map. President Donald Trump has said he wants the country to become the world capital of cryptocurrencies. However, the Miami placement also reflects the city’s ongoing push to brand itself as a fintech and digital-asset hub.

Where are the other Bitcoin statues?

Earlier pieces in the series stand in Lugano, on the beach of El Zonte in El Salvador, in Tokyo and in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. For context on El Zonte’s role in Bitcoin adoption, see the official project at Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte. That said, the expanding list underscores rising interest in bitcoin statue locations.

Who attended the Miami unveiling?

The ceremony drew several industry figures. Among them were Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, and Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy. Moreover, brothers Brandon Lutnick and Kyle Lutnick attended; they are, respectively, CEO and executive vice president of Cantor Fitzgerald. Their father Howard is U.S. Secretary of Commerce.

Ardoino’s leadership at Tether has been closely watched by markets; see the company’s announcement, Tether appoints Paolo Ardoino as CEO, for background. Meanwhile, the family’s public-service link is documented in the firm’s update, Howard Lutnick confirmed as U.S. Secretary of Commerce.

The Miami Bitcoin statue adds a high-profile U.S. stop to Picozzi’s itinerary. It also connects the project to American finance and policy circles through attendees spanning Tether, Strategy and Cantor Fitzgerald. In addition, it spotlights the Lutnick brothers’ growing presence in digital markets.

In sum, Miami’s installation strengthens the global arc of this series and keeps the focus on Bitcoin’s cultural reach. With five locations live and more planned, the momentum behind public tributes to Satoshi Nakamoto is clear and this satoshi statue marks the project’s bold U.S. chapter.
