A Bitcoin holder said Anthropic’s Claude helped recover access to a wallet containing about 5 BTC, worth roughly $320,000, after more than 11 years. The latest details say the recovery effort searched more than 1GB of data, tested about 3.5 trillion password combinations over eight weeks using btcrecover on rented computing hardware, and resulted in five transactions on May 13. Earlier reporting and expert commentary indicated Claude appears to have assisted with file analysis and the recovery workflow rather than breaking Bitcoin’s cryptographic protections. The wallet is also described as a Blockchain.com wallet in newer reporting, but the full claim still lacks independent technical confirmation or a statement from Anthropic.
