[New York Court Accepts Case on 'Claiming Satoshi Nakamoto and Other Dormant Bitcoin Addresses,' Total Value $274 Billion] Odaily Planet Daily reports that Galaxy published an article stating that in March of this year, the New York Supreme Court quietly accepted a lawsuit aimed at determining the ownership of over 3.7 million bitcoins (approximately $274 billion) associated with 39,069 bitcoin addresses, including addresses belonging to Bitcoin's founder, Satoshi Nakamoto (a total of 21,744 addresses holding 1.09 million bitcoins, valued at $83.7 billion at current prices). The plaintiffs are Noah Doe (a pseudonym) and two unnamed Wyoming limited liability companies. Noah Doe is requesting the New York Supreme Court to declare ownership of these dormant addresses under New York's Lost Property Law (Section 7-B of the Personal Property Law) through a declaratory judgment lawsuit (Section 3001 of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules). In simple terms, they are attempting to have the New York court rule that Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto's bitcoins (as well as many other lost-address bitcoins) constitute lost property, and that they have the legal right to own these cryptocurrencies because they 'found' them. Between June 30 and July 10, 2025, they sent 'abandonment notices' to each discovered address via OP_RETURN. However, even if they win the case entirely, they would only receive a court declaration and would not gain access to any private keys or be able to transfer any bitcoins from these addresses. Galaxy notes that the true value of the New York ruling lies in its potential to serve as a 'cloud on title.' If these bitcoins appear in any regulated venue, the plaintiff, Noah Doe, could use this document to challenge exchanges or custodians.
