Policy2026-08-12 09:17:23BPI, Crypto Firms Urge AI Labs to Give Bitcoin Developers Early Access to Frontier ModelsBitcoin Policy Institute (BPI) has released an open letter, co-signed by multiple crypto companies and institutions, urging frontier AI labs to provide Bitcoin and open-source developers with early access to their strongest models to support cybersecurity efforts. The letter says digital asset defenders, including Bitcoin Core developers, lack access to labs' security programs and may be affected by safety limits on public frontier systems, forcing reliance on weaker open-weight models. It suggests establishing or expanding long-term trusted access programs for defenders of open-source financial infrastructure. Signatories include African Bitcoin Institute, Anchorage Digital, BitGo, Bitwise, Blockstream, Bull Bitcoin, MARA, Kraken, Ledger, and Trezor. The open letter also stresses that open-source software underpins critical financial infrastructure, with Bitcoin securing over $1 trillion in value. Separately, the report notes that crypto platforms suffered over $634 million in thefts in April 2026, the highest monthly figure since the Bybit hack, while related losses in February 2025 were about $1.4 billion.1620

The list of signatories includes Block, Coinbase, Strategy, MARA, Galaxy, BitGo, Brink, OpenSats, Chaincode Labs, Spiral, Trezor and Unchained. The coalition's demands include early access to frontier cybersecurity models, sufficient computing power, secure environments for security research, and direct communication channels with safety teams at AI laboratories.
