of course.
this is from wikipedia.com

Satoshi Nakamoto (中本哲史 Nakamoto Satoshi?) is a person or group of people who created the Bitcoin protocol and reference software, Bitcoin Core (formerly known as Bitcoin-Qt). In 2008, Nakamoto published a paper[1][2] on The Cryptography Mailing list at metzdowd.com[3] describing the Bitcoin digital currency. In 2009, he released the first Bitcoin software that launched the network and the first units of the Bitcoin currency, called bitcoins.[4][5]

Nakamoto continued to collaborate with other developers on the Bitcoin software until mid-2010. Around this time, he handed over control of the source code repository and network alert key to Gavin Andresen,[6] transferred several related domains to various prominent members of the Bitcoin community, and stopped his involvement in the project.

The public Bitcoin transaction log shows that Nakamoto's known wallets contain roughly one million bitcoins. As of June 2015, this was the equivalent of US$250 million.[7][8] Nakamoto's true identity remains unknown, and has been the subject of much speculation. It is not known whether the name "Satoshi Nakamoto" is real or a pseudonym, or whether the name represents one person or a group of people.
