Conor works at Coinbase as a director, where he also conducts crypto and on-chain research. His analysis of on-chain transactions linked to a wallet believed to be controlled by Satoshi Nakamoto drew significant attention in early 2025, when The US Sun cited his work. In that analysis, Grogan speculated that Satoshi was last active on-chain in 2014 and may have used CaVirtEx, a Canadian bitcoin exchange later acquired by Kraken, suggesting Kraken may hold information about Satoshi's identity. He framed these conclusions explicitly as his best guess rather than confirmed findings.
Conor's employer has faced notable regulatory scrutiny. In June 2023, the SEC charged Coinbase with operating as an unregistered national securities exchange, broker, and clearing agency, and with failing to register its staking-as-a-service program. In February 2025, the SEC filed a joint stipulation to dismiss the civil enforcement action, stating the dismissal was not an assessment of the merits of the claims. Conor has 53,036 followers as of July 2026 and has published 8,614 posts, and has been mentioned by 47 accounts a total of 72 times.
