Satoshi Nakamoto Bitcoin wallets

I was reading a news posted on this sub about Craig Wright claiming he is Satoshi Nakamoto, and i was thinking that the only way to be sure about his real identity, was moving his Bitcoin from his early days wallets since he was the most prominent miner.

Some searchers have been able to identify wallets that most likely belonged to him, and they found that Satoshi used a huge number of addresses, with some estimates suggesting he could have more than 20,000 different addresses, as he used a different address to receive each block reward.

The vast majority of those wallets simply received a 50 BTC block reward, and have been dormant ever since.

One of the most interesting addressesi is the address he used to send 10 BTC to Hal Finney. This was the first Bitcoin transaction between two users, as all the previous transactions were just miners (mostly Satoshi) receiving block rewards from the Bitcoin blockchain.

This address currently has a Bitcoin balance of 18.43972412 BTC.

The most famous of Satoshi’s addresses is the address that mined the first block on the Bitcoin blockchain. This wallet balance is 72.71443175 BTC, which is worth about $2 million at current prices, and still receives BTC as a tribute.

Researchers estimate that Satoshi has thousands of Bitcoin addresses and has mined between 600K and 1.1M bitcoin, worth between $16.6 B and $30.5B at today's price.

What do you think will happen if we ever see transactions from wallets that are thought to belong to Satoshi ?
