Over 50 BTC Rescued from COLDCARD Vulnerability Wallet, Transferred to Crypto Recovery Trust

DART and independent white-hat researchers have rescued over 50 BTC from wallets affected by the COLDCARD entropy vulnerability, completing the transfer before malicious attackers could steal them. DART is a digital asset recovery organization responsible for protecting funds that are vulnerable and coordinating their legitimate return to the owners. The white-hat researchers did not request a bounty and returned the Bitcoin to the owners. The rescued BTC has been transferred to the Crypto Recovery Trust, which was established under Wyoming state law to hold recovered digital assets and return them to verified legal owners. The trust will document the recovery process, separate the BTC from DART and the researchers' funds, conduct blockchain analysis, ownership verification, and sanctions screening, and provide a legitimate return process for verified owners. If there are disputes over ownership or if the related funds are involved in sanctions or criminal proceedings, the BTC will be handled according to applicable legal procedures. DART stated that other vulnerable assets and recovery leads are still under review.
