Wood Demands AI Giants Grant Access to Combat Bitcoin Threats

Cathie Wood, a prominent investor and CEO of ARK Invest, has made a surprising demand for OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. She believes that Bitcoin deserves specialized security treatment akin to the global banking system. To combat AI-powered attackers, she wants these frontier labs to grant 'trusted access' to their most powerful models to Bitcoin defenders.

Wood's assertion is that private AI companies must protect a decentralized network they do not control. Her stance raises questions about whether Bitcoin can be considered truly public infrastructure or if this is merely a demand for special treatment.
