What if bitcoin is actually owned by the US Government, and the name Satoshi is just used to front the currency to make it anonymous, maybe its an underground project to study people's reaction to money or to help them make money in a short while?
I hope its just a language thing and that you dont really mean to use the word "owned".
No one person or organisation can own somerhing as decentralised as bitcoin.
Wallets are encrypted and transactions are confirmed by miners in various parts of the
world, not by a central entity.
It has been mentioned before that the US government or military "created" bitcoin, thats
different than "owning" it.
