The New York State Supreme Court has accepted a lawsuit seeking to establish ownership of over 3.7 million bitcoins, valued at approximately $274 billion, from dormant addresses. The case, filed by a plaintiff known as Noah Doe and two unnamed Wyoming LLCs, targets 39,069 Bitcoin addresses, including those linked to Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. The plaintiffs argue that these bitcoins, considered abandoned, should be declared their property under New York's Abandoned Property Law. The lawsuit aims to obtain a declaratory judgment that would not grant access to private keys or allow the transfer of bitcoins but could serve as a "cloud on title." This legal status might enable the plaintiffs to challenge the presence of these bitcoins at regulated exchanges or custodial institutions. The case highlights the ongoing legal complexities surrounding ownership claims of dormant cryptocurrency assets.
