How do you know the funds belonged to Hal or Satoshi?
No one know and people only tried to estimate fortunes possibly owned by Satoshi Nakamoto and Hal Finney. They did calculations on possible fortunes with assumptions that early used addresses belong to these people. Obviously, these numbers calculated by this way, can be very inaccurate.
Satoshi NakamotoAs of 2021, Nakamoto is estimated to own between 750,000 and 1,100,000 Bitcoin.
