DART said it has recovered more than 50 BTC from wallets affected by the COLDCARD entropy vulnerability, working with independent white-hat researchers to move the funds before a malicious attacker could take them. The recovered bitcoin has been placed into Crypto Recovery Trust, a special-purpose statutory trust formed under Wyoming law to hold recovered digital assets until lawful owners are identified and verified. DART said the trust will document the recovery process, keep the BTC separate from funds belonging to DART and the researchers, and carry out blockchain analysis, ownership checks, and sanctions screening. Verified owners will be given a legal process to receive their assets back. If ownership is disputed, or if the funds are tied to sanctions or criminal proceedings, the bitcoin will be handled under applicable legal procedures. DART also said additional vulnerable assets and recovery leads remain under review.
DART said it has recovered more than 50 BTC from wallets affected by the COLDCARD entropy vulnerability, working with independent white-hat researchers to move the funds before a malicious attacker could steal them, according to Bitcoin News monitoring cited by Odaily.
DART described itself as a digital asset recovery organization that works with white-hat researchers to protect vulnerable funds and coordinate their lawful return to owners. The researchers did not ask for a bounty and will return the bitcoin to its owners.
Recovered BTC moved into statutory trust
The recovered BTC has been transferred to Crypto Recovery Trust. DART said the vehicle is a special-purpose statutory trust established under Wyoming law to hold recovered digital assets and return them after lawful owners are confirmed and verified.
According to DART, the trust will document the recovery process, separate the BTC from funds belonging to DART and the researchers, and conduct blockchain analysis, ownership verification, and sanctions screening. It will also provide a lawful return process for verified owners.
Disputed or legally restricted funds to follow legal procedures
If ownership is disputed, or if the funds are connected to sanctions or criminal proceedings, the BTC will be handled under applicable legal procedures.
DART also said other vulnerable assets and recovery leads are still under review.
