Blockchains are public, and everyone can see transactions, but they are tied to an address and not to a person. The person who controls the address can make transactions without revealing who they are. That’s how we know Satoshi owns billions of dollars worth of bitcoins but we don’t know who Satoshi is. However, if the address is revealed to belong to a person in the real word, they are no longer anonymous and you can see all of their transactions.
