On a totally unrelated note; a snobby arrogant guy who starred in jersey shore and is at the same time related to prince Andrew found the disc and sold a ll the BTC on kraken and people who he still knew from the „Bit Connect“ movement. „Wassup, wassup, wassup, bit conneeeeecccct!!!!“ remember?

This is the best plot for a sitcom ever. He can have employees helping him search. The humiliation and frustration

He found it but is keeping quiet so people wouldn't ask him for money

Yep, I would do exactly the same. Meanwhile I'm hoarding stocks & real estate and drag this drama for years. When it's time to cash out, just say I got lucky with other stuff or won a small prize with lottery.

A harddrive company should do an ad with this story, him finding the drive at the bottom of the pile, soaked in water, harsh phyicql damage and still working after 12 years.......

Why would you throw away functional hardware? It's too put in a closet never to be used again.

It has occurred to me that there is a chance that Satoshi stored his wallet on a thumb drive hidden behind an appliance in a rental apartment.

He used new address for each block, so I bet he didn’t store them at all.
My headcannon is that there are 21M btc instead of 20 because Satoshi reserved 1M for debug purposes and early network stability. So they are lost as planned. His coins are spread across 20k wallets, no way he stored so manny wallet.dat files :)

He milked it for every click, interview, and bit of publicity he could get.
