Cathie Wood Backs Open Letter Calling for AI Model Access for Defenders

Cathie Wood has thrown her weight behind an open letter from the Bitcoin Policy Institute, calling on Frontier AI Labs to create trusted pathways for qualified open-source defenders to access advanced models.

This move highlights the importance of Bitcoin as a critical component of public financial infrastructure and underscores that defenders need the same AI tools attackers are already exploiting.
