Satoshi owes no one anything, the maintenance of the ledger is paid for by the block reward for now (dilution of outstanding shares) and transaction fees forever. Holding Bitcoin as savings is a speculative action (like all savings and investment) but it’s not an investment because holding Bitcoin will never produce more bitcoin

It's not savings because you don't actually control it, the consensus network does. If all goes well you can influence that network to deliver value to you in future, but that is true of all investments.
