A new Satoshi Nakamoto statue now stands in Fornelli, Italy. The tribute was funded by 24 private donors and the local government. It joins two others unveiled in April — one in Tokyo and another in El Zonte, El Salvador. This global wave of Bitcoin tribute monuments comes as interest in crypto rises once again.
Fornelli Joins the Bitcoin Tribute Movement
Fornelli is a small town with no strong links to crypto. Still, it now hosts a Satoshi Nakamoto statue. Many in the community were surprised, since the town rarely appears in blockchain discussions. Yet, this unexpected move has helped raise crypto awareness in the region.
Supporters say this statue is more than a symbol. It reflects a growing desire to educate the public about Bitcoin and its values. The statue in Fornelli may also attract tourists and help locals engage with new ideas in digital finance.
Three Statues in One Month
In just one month, three Satoshi Nakamoto statues appeared around the world. The first was placed in Tokyo. The second arrived in El Zonte, a town known as “Bitcoin Beach.” Fornelli is the third.
No group has claimed to organize all three events. However, the timing has raised questions. Was it planned? Or is it just a coincidence? Either way, these monuments have sparked conversation and renewed interest in Bitcoin.
Bitcoin Price Rises Alongside Cultural Interest
At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades at around $96,600. That’s a 30% jump over the past month. This recovery followed a recent drop from its all-time high.
The timing of the statues adds weight to Bitcoin’s comeback story. In Fornelli, the monument is already drawing attention. People see it as a bold Bitcoin tribute. It shows that even small towns can support digital change.
A Global Push for Education and Awareness
These events are part of a wider effort. Fans of Bitcoin want to honor Satoshi and share the message of decentralization. Every Satoshi Nakamoto statue tells a story. It reminds the world that crypto is not only about price. It’s also about freedom, innovation, and access.
Thanks to the statue in Fornelli, more people are now learning about Bitcoin. And as these public symbols appear around the world, they help build lasting crypto awareness.
