A public challenge from BitGo CEO Mike Belshe has become a flashpoint in the debate over whether artificial intelligence can actually break the cryptographic foundations behind Bitcoin. On Aug. 1, Belshe transferred 100 BTC, worth about $6.5 million at early-August prices, into a BitGo wallet address and openly challenged Anthropic to take it, after a wave of discussion around Claude’s security research and the Coldcard weak-randomness incident. When GoPlusZH checked the chain while writing, the funds were still sitting untouched. The article argues that AI is changing cybersecurity fast, but mostly by improving vulnerability discovery, exploit development, and analysis of weaker or insufficiently reviewed designs. It points to Anthropic’s incident report on Claude’s cybersecurity evaluations, as well as research showing progress against the post-quantum candidate HAWK and reduced-round AES. At the same time, it draws a sharp distinction between those results and the mature cryptographic stack used by Bitcoin, including SHA-256 and secp256k1. GoPlusZH’s main point is that real-world crypto losses rarely come from “breaking encryption” in the abstract. They usually come from implementation flaws, poor key management, phishing, social engineering, or supply-chain compromise. In that framing, AI looks less like a force that overturns mathematics and more like a powerful amplifier of existing operational and security weaknesses.

HashKey Group used WebX Tokyo 2026 to stage two back-to-back side events in Japan, one focused on institutional on-chain finance and the other on developer activity around AI and DeFi. The company hosted the On-Chain Finance Forum Tokyo, where executives from HashKey, Ethereum Foundation, and firms including Ondo Finance, DigiFT, Franklin Templeton Japan, OKJ, BitGo, and Babylon discussed institutional adoption, RWA integration, on-chain liquidity, and yield strategies linking traditional finance with blockchain-based markets. The forum also highlighted the newly released HSK 2.0 white paper, which outlines HashKey Chain’s approach to institutional-grade on-chain finance. Separately, HSK Chain hosted the Japan Horizon hackathon Demo Day with FEB Event and AKINDO after nearly a month of selection, featuring finalist presentations and panel discussions on whether on-chain finance can become widely used financial infrastructure and how AI Agent-era Web3 products should define user boundaries. According to the article, the paired events reflect HashKey’s ongoing effort to deepen its presence in Japan by engaging local financial institutions, ecosystem partners, developers, and potential clients through both infrastructure and application-layer initiatives.
