Bitcoin v0.1 was public released on 17:05:49 -0800, January 9, 2009. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/History

At that time, block 1 - 14 were mined. So you could say Satoshi may have premined 14 blocks (700 BTC). Smiley Remember 700 BTC that time worth nothing.

block 14:

block 15:

Certainly, we don't know how many other people joined that time, so we don't know how much was mined by Satoshi. Nonetheless, after block 15, there's no premining any more since he had already published the code.
