September 9, 2025 will mark a special event when the statue of Satoshi Nakamoto – the anonymous father of Bitcoin – is officially inaugurated. This is the first time Vietnam has become the homeland of the Satoshi statue, and is also the 5th country in the world to own this symbol, after Hungary, Spain, Japan and the US.
According to information from the Vietnam Blockchain and Digital Asset Association (VBA), the launch event took place within the framework of Blockchain Gallery - a creative space combining art and technology. Here, the public will be able to admire a unique collection of oil paintings, recreating the development journey of blockchain from the Genesis Block in 2009 to the present, when this technology has become the foundation for millions of applications in finance, commerce, education and life.
The erection of the Satoshi Nakamoto statue in Vietnam is not only symbolic, but also affirms the spirit of freedom, transparency and creativity that blockchain aims for. In particular, this event is also associated with the launch of the Satoshi Vietnam Foundation, inspired by the international project satoshi.museum. The Foundation carries the mission of popularizing blockchain knowledge for young people, supporting technology start-up projects, and implementing many social and environmental activities to spread the spirit of sustainable development.
It is worth noting that last July, Mr. Phan Duc Trung, Chairman of the Board of Directors of 1Matrix Joint Stock Company, announced on his personal page about bringing a statue of Satoshi Nakamoto worth 1 BTC to Vietnam. At that time, Bitcoin had just surpassed the threshold of 120,000 USD, raising the value of the statue to about 3.1 billion VND. This is XEM a milestone showing strong belief in the future of blockchain and cryptocurrency in Vietnam.
