A lawsuit claiming ownership of long-dormant coins, including Satoshi's estimated wallet, totaling approximately 3.799 million BTC, was filed, and now a specific individual has challenged it, claiming to be "the actual owner of the wallet." According to Cryptoslate, last month, a plaintiff using the pseudonym Noah Doe filed a lawsuit in a New York court, considering approximately 39,000 long-dormant wallets as lost property and claiming ownership over them. These wallets contain an estimated 3.799 million BTC (approximately $234 billion at current market prices) believed to belong to Satoshi and early Bitcoin miners. The core issue of this lawsuit is whether long-dormant cryptocurrencies can be recognized as lost property. In response, a defendant using the pseudonym John Doe 33 has challenged this, claiming to be the actual owner of the wallets. The media reported, "This lawsuit has the potential to set a precedent that will define the scope of applying lost property law to long-dormant wallets."
