A coalition led by the Bitcoin Policy Institute and backed by more than 40 organizations is calling on leading AI laboratories to give qualified open-source security defenders trusted access to their most advanced AI models, according to a post from Bitcoin News on X. In a public letter, the group said Bitcoin and digital asset developers are facing increasingly complex AI-driven cyber threats, while legitimate security research is often constrained by the safety guardrails attached to frontier models. The signatories said that imbalance is limiting defensive work at a time when more capable tools are needed.
The letter asks for several concrete forms of support: early access to frontier cybersecurity models, sufficient compute resources, secure research environments, and direct communication channels with AI labs’ security teams. Named signatories include Block, Coinbase, Strategy, MARA, Galaxy, BitGo, Brink, OpenSats, Chaincode Labs, Spiral, Trezor, and Unchained. The letter’s core message is direct: defenders need frontier technology and should be given a fair head start.
