Designs for Satoshi Island look very much like a bond villain’s elaborate getaway.

The private island is 32-million-square-foot.

It’s website explains: “Satoshi Island is a 32 million square foot private island, located in the tropical paradise of Vanuatu, tucked between Australia and Fiji.

“The island, which is owned by Satoshi Island Holdings Limited, is intended to become home for crypto professionals and enthusiasts, with a goal to be considered the crypto capital of the world.


“After years of preparation, a green light from the Vanuatu Ministry Of Finance and all approvals in place, Satoshi Island is now ready to be developed into a real-world crypto economy and blockchain based democracy.”

The island is named after Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto.

The site stresses that the island is “not a resort” will have “a permanent population” of people who call it home.

Ideally, the island will be filled with 21,000 investors/residents.

Residency is granted via a minted NFT that will appear on a resident’s crypto-wallet.

A private opening of the island for a small number of people could happen later this year.

That means it cannot be replicated.
