Galaxy 研究主管 Alex Thorn在 X 平台发文披露，围绕“Noah Doe”试图通过法律程序获得中本聪比特币所有权的遗弃比特币案件迎来重大进展，比特币政策研究所（BPI）已正式申请作为被告介入此案并寻求推动法院驳回全部诉讼。据悉，由律师事务所 White & Case 代理的 BPI 此次不仅申请介入案件，还提交了拟答辩文件、15 项积极抗辩理由并计划提出撤诉动议。 Alex Thorn 透露，BPI 称其具备介入资格，因为该机构长期自托管一部分计划无限期持有的比特币储备，而原告所主张的“长期未动用即构成遗弃”的理论，恰恰可能将类似资产纳入未来诉讼范围。如果本案的法律逻辑最终获得法院支持，未来可能成为剥夺长期自托管用户资产所有权的先例，所以这场诉讼不仅关乎中本聪相关资产，也关系到整个比特币自托管生态的法律基础。
According to Drift’s official announcement, the Drift Protocol released its latest recovery update on June 3, 2026. An independent forensic investigation conducted by cybersecurity firm Mandiant has confirmed that the prior attack against Drift was carried out by the North Korean threat group UNC6862, whose tactics closely align with those historically employed by North Korean state-sponsored hacking operations. On the rebuilding front, Drift announced the appointment of Noah Prince—former Engineering Lead of the Helium Protocol—as Protocol Lead, who will spearhead codebase hardening and platform security architecture redesign. Additionally, former members of the Gauntlet team have been brought on board to conduct margin engine reviews, optimize funding rates and market parameters, enhance liquidation mechanisms, and implement continuous risk monitoring. Drift plans to relaunch with “security-first” as its core principle, repositioning itself as Solana’s largest USDT-perpetuals exchange. With support from strategic partners including Tether, Drift will establish a dedicated recovery pool funded by platform revenues to compensate users for losses. Further details regarding the recovery mechanism and timeline will be disclosed progressively.
Galaxy stated in March this year, the New York State Supreme Court quietly accepted a lawsuit seeking to confirm the ownership of over 3.7 million Bitcoin (worth approximately $274 billion) associated with 39,069 Bitcoin addresses. This includes addresses belonging to Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto (a total of 21,744 addresses holding 1.09 million Bitcoin, valued at $83.7 billion at current prices).The plaintiff is Noah Doe (a pseudonym) and two unnamed Wyoming limited liability companies. Noah Doe requests the New York State Supreme Court to declare, via a declaratory judgment action (New York Civil Practice Law and Rules Section 3001) under the New York State Abandoned Property Law (Personal Property Law Article 7-B), that they possess ownership of these dormant addresses.In short, they seek a ruling from a New York court that the Bitcoin belonging to founder Satoshi Nakamoto (along with many other lost Bitcoin addresses) constitutes abandoned property. They argue they are entitled to legal ownership by virtue of "finding" these cryptocurrencies. From June 30 to July 10, 2025, they sent "disclaimer notices" to each found address via OP_RETURN.However, even if they win the case entirely, they will ultimately only obtain a court declaration. They will not receive any private keys, nor will they be able to transfer any Bitcoin from these addresses. But Galaxy states that the true value of the New York ruling lies in its ability to act as a "cloud on title." If these Bitcoins ever appear on any regulated platform, plaintiff Noah Doe could use this document to file a claim with an exchange or custodian.
