Bitcoin Austria unveiled a Satoshi statue in Vienna's Viertel Zwei lakeside business quarter, marking the latest stop in a global series to place 21 identical statues across 21 countries. According to Bitcoinist, the sculpture features a programmer at a laptop and stands 90 centimeters tall (1.5 meters with base), crafted from 61 mirror-polished stainless steel profiles.

The design's key feature reflects Satoshi Nakamoto's anonymity: when viewed from the side, the figure is clearly visible; from the front, it nearly dissolves and the viewer appears in Satoshi's place. Between December 2025 and August 2026, over 120 individuals and companies donated 1.3 BTC (approximately €97,000) to fund the project. Vienna-based crypto broker Bitpanda led sponsorship. The statue unveiling also marked Bitcoin Austria's 15th anniversary, founded in 2011. Similar Satoshi statues by Italian artist Valentina Picozzi now stand in Lugano, New York, Tokyo, Hanoi, and El Zonte, El Salvador.
