The New York court has accepted the case of "Claiming dormant addresses of Satoshi Nakamoto and others for Bitcoin," with a total value of 274 billion dollars

Galaxy stated that in March this year, the New York State Supreme Court quietly accepted a lawsuit aimed at confirming the ownership of over 3.7 million bitcoins (approximately $274 billion) associated with 39,069 bitcoin addresses, including addresses belonging to bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto (a total of 21,744 addresses holding 1.09 million bitcoins, valued at $83.7 billion at current prices).The plaintiffs are Noah Doe (a pseudonym) and two unnamed limited liability companies from Wyoming. Noah Doe requests the New York State Supreme Court to declare their ownership of these dormant addresses through a declaratory judgment action under New York State's lost property law (Section 7-B of the Personal Property Law) as per the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules Section 3001.In short, they are attempting to have the New York court rule that the bitcoins of bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto (and many other lost address bitcoins) belong to lost property, and that they have the right to legally own them because they "found" these cryptocurrencies. From June 30 to July 10, 2025, they sent "abandonment notices" via OP_RETURN to each found address.However, even if they win completely, they will ultimately only receive a court statement; they will not obtain any private keys and will not be able to transfer any bitcoins from these addresses. But Galaxy indicates that the real value of the New York ruling lies in its potential to serve as a "title defect," allowing plaintiff Noah Doe to raise objections with exchanges or custodians if these bitcoins appear in any regulated venue.

Viewpoint: Strategy's preferred stock debt amounts to 15 billion dollars, facing pressure to sell BTC

According to Cointelegraph, Arca Chief Investment Officer Jeff Dorman stated that Strategy's current approximately $15 billion preferred stock financing structure has become "unmanageable." He pointed out that these preferred stocks require about $1.5 billion in dividends each year, and with the ongoing volatility in Bitcoin prices, this structure is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain.Strategy's financing model is based on the premise that "BTC will continue to rise significantly." Although the company previously alleviated short-term default risks by issuing additional shares, its decision to repurchase bonds maturing in 2029 is perplexing. He indicated that Strategy may ultimately have only two options: sell BTC to pay preferred stock dividends or stop paying dividends, both of which would have significant impacts on the company and investors.Meanwhile, Strategy CEO Phong Le stated in an interview with CNBC that the company "may sell Bitcoin" at some point in the future, but overall will continue to increase its BTC holdings and enhance the amount of BTC corresponding to each share.Polymarket data shows that the market now estimates the probability of Strategy selling some BTC by the end of 2026 has risen to about 90%. As of now, Strategy holds a total of 843,738 BTC, with a total cost of approximately $63.87 billion and an average purchase price of about $75,700.
