Anthropic Claude recovers access to 2015 Bitcoin wallet
Anthropic's Claude AI recovered access to a Bitcoin wallet holding 5 BTC locked since 2015. The owner uploaded files from an old college computer. Claude identified the wallet file, debugged btcrecover by adding concatenation with a sharedKey value, ran the adjusted decryption, extracted the private keys, and converted them to WIF format. Control of address 14VJySbsKraEJbtwk9ivnr1fXs6QuofuE6 was restored after nine years.
One side of a two-side coin.

Holy sh*t: Claude brought back his lost BTC.
Worth almost $400k .
Which means he can now afford roughly one intense weekend of Claude Code usage.
Insane.
