Buried inside a new Bitcoin security proposal is a provision that could save stragglers from losing everything.

Anyone who misses the upgrade deadline but still holds their seed phrase would have a path to recovery through zero-knowledge proof technology — a last-resort mechanism built into the final phase of BIP-361, a draft posted to GitHub on Tuesday by cypherpunk Jameson Lopp and five co-authors.

The full proposal is a three-phase plan designed to protect Bitcoin from a threat that has quietly grown more serious: the eventual ability of quantum computers to crack the cryptographic keys protecting early Bitcoin addresses.

Satoshi’s Fortune At The Center Of It All
About 1.7 million BTC sits in old-style addresses known as P2PK — the kind used in Bitcoin’s earliest days. Those addresses expose public keys directly, making them vulnerable once quantum computing reaches sufficient power.

Satoshi Nakamoto’s stash alone is valued at roughly $74 billion at current prices. According to the proposal’s authors, if a bad actor gained quantum access to those coins, the damage to Bitcoin’s value and credibility could be severe.

BIP-361 builds on BIP-360, released in February, which introduced a new quantum-resistant address format called pay-to-Merkle-root, or P2MR. That earlier proposal protects new coins. BIP-361 tackles what BIP-360 left unresolved — the roughly 34% of Bitcoin’s total supply still sitting in vulnerable addresses.

The plan unfolds in stages. Three years after activation, sending BTC to old-style addresses would no longer be allowed. Two years after that, old-format signatures would be invalidated entirely.

Any coins that haven’t been moved by then would be frozen. The third phase — the rescue window — gives late movers a technical route to reclaim funds using proof of seed ownership.

Arthur Hayes says crypto markets are crashing because the community can't agree on why they're crashing


Arthur Hayes says the crypto crowd is getting hit while still fighting over the reason for the drop. In his latest essay, Arthur warns that: “I don’t know anything about war fighting,” and makes clear he has no inside line into what global leaders may do next.

What he does say he has is public data, basic math, propaganda AI agents, and a portfolio to protect.

He says there are really four possible outcomes, but one is useless for investors. Nuclear destruction is not something he thinks anyone can trade around, so he throws it out. That leaves three main paths, plus one middle case tied to a US blockade. Arthur says he is trying to find a portfolio setup that can beat hydrocarbons, food, and fuel prices in the best case, and in the worst case still do better than most major assets.

Arthur Hayes says Bitcoin comeback is waiting for Fed liquidity injection

In the first case, Arthur says the war stops and things go back to what they were before, but that still would not solve the deeper problem because the bigger threat is AI replacing white-collar workers across the US economy.

“The American economy is the most exposed because its GDP is ~70% driven by consumer spending. Consumers finance their materialism using bank credit, and these loans become assets on banks’ balance sheets,” says Arthur.

Arthur says the AI-led bust could be as serious as the 2008 subprime mess. He writes that rising consumer delinquencies are already showing up before the real layoff wave has even started.

He also gives a story from a crypto gaming founder who tested the latest Claude model during Christmas 2025, built usable code fast, then brought top engineers together to rethink the company.

After that, the firm built an agent workflow that coded all day and al

Samsung Electronics is pushing hard to deliver engineering samples of its next-generation HBM4E high-bandwidth memory to Nvidia as early as next month, according to South Korean outlet ChosunBiz. The move signals Samsung's determination to stay ahead in the fiercely competitive AI memory market.The tech giant recently became the first chipmaker to begin mass production of HBM4 memory, and it is now channeling that momentum into accelerating development of the even more advanced HBM4E variant. While Samsung did showcase a physical HBM4E unit at Nvidia's annual GTC developer conference in March, industry insiders noted that the display model was not yet a production-ready sample meeting Nvidia's strict technical requirements.High-bandwidth memory has become an indispensable component in modern AI accelerators and data center GPUs, where raw processing power depends heavily on fast, high-capacity memory access. As global demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure continues to surge, chipmakers supplying HBM have seen both revenues and margins climb sharply amid persistent supply constraints.As the world's largest memory chip manufacturer, Samsung holds a strategic position in Nvidia's supply chain, which heavily relies on advanced HBM for its market-leading AI processors. However, competition is tightening. Rivals SK Hynix and Micron Technology, though initially trailing Samsung in HBM4 production, have been closing the gap at a notable pace in recent months.Securing Nvidia's qualification for HBM4E would be a significant commercial and reputational win for Samsung, reinforcing its standing as the go-to supplier for cutting-edge AI hardware. With the artificial intelligence semiconductor market projected to grow substantially over the coming years, the race to deliver faster, denser, and more energy-efficient memory solutions is only intensifying.

Erik Zhang announces temporary committee to assume Neo Foundation functions


Erik Zhang, Neo co-founder and core developer, announced on April 14 that he is forming a temporary emergency committee with core developers and community leaders to take over Neo Foundation operations, citing NF dysfunction, unpaid staff and community members, and eight months of suspended personal salary.

The announcement marks an escalation in an ongoing governance dispute between Zhang and fellow co-founder Da Hongfei, which became public in late December 2025. It comes just days after both founders published competing governance reform proposals on GitHub.

Emergency action and claims of dysfunction

Zhang stated that the NF “is now, in effect, in a state of dysfunction,” with most operational departments having “already begun to shut down.” He said community members and staff have gone without owed funding “for an extended period,” and that his own salary has been suspended for eight months.

In the announcement, Zhang cited his role as “founder of $NEO, a core developer, and an NF Board Member,” and framed the committee as a necessary intervention:

“To prevent further harm to the $NEO ecosystem as a result of governance failure, I, as the founder of $NEO, a core developer, and an NF Board Member, will, effective today, join with certain core developers and community leaders to establish a temporary committee.”

The committee aims to manage and use NF funds to ensure continued ecosystem operations. Zhang shared the primary NF fund address currently under his control and committed to publicly disclosing all funding decisions.

Zhang also reiterated his criticism of Da’s financial disclosures, stating that Da “has still failed to provide the community with a sufficiently open, transparent, and credible account of the Foundation’s financial condition.” Neo published its first financial re

Tether moves over $70 million in bitcoin to reserve wallet: Arkham

The world’s largest stablecoin issuer received 951 BTC ($70.5 million) from a Bitfinex hot wallet to an address labeled as its bitcoin reserve, according to Arkham Intelligence data.

Tether is the second-largest bitcoin holder among private companies.
Tether, the world's largest stablecoin issuer, withdrew 951 bitcoin from a Bitfinex wallet, according to Arkham Intelligence data.

The bitcoin was worth $70.5 million at current prices.

Tether's bitcoin reserve now totals 97,141 BTC. The firm is the second-largest holder among private companies, behind Block One, according to Bitcoin Treasuries data. Strategy is the largest publicly-traded holder of BTC.

The move is consistent with Tether's pattern of accumulating bitcoin and moving the asset to its reserve wallet periodically. Last November, Tether moved 961 BTC (then worth $97 million) from Bitfinex to its bitcoin reserve. 

Tether began buying bitcoin in September 2022. Then, in May 2023, the company announced that it would allocate 15% of its net profits each quarter toward bitcoin purchases. Since then, the company has consistently increased its reserves as part of its long-term diversification strategy.

Last June, Tether withdrew 14,000 BTC from its bitcoin reserve wallet and moved it to an address labeled as belonging to Twenty One Capital.

Bitcoin was trading for $73,936 as of 1:02 p.m. ET on Wednesday, according to The Block Price Page.

About 4% of Tether's over $190 billion worth of reserves backing its USDT stablecoin are held in bitcoin, according to the company's website.
