Bitcoin Self-Custody Proves Resilient Amid $15 Billion Exploit

A recent exploit targeting Coldcard devices has led to one of the most serious hardware-wallet security incidents in Bitcoin's history.

Roughly 233,000 Bitcoin worth about $15 billion was moved to new wallets after attackers drained vulnerable wallets one address at a time.

Casa CEO Nick Neuman notes that this response demonstrates the resilience of distributed self-custody rather than exposing it as a systemic weakness.

The incident highlights the importance of secure wallet configurations, timely software updates, and recovery plans for holders managing their own Bitcoin.
