Click to copy Mike Belshe, CEO of crypto custodian BitGo, called out Anthropic's claims about AI hacking capabilities and put 100 BTC behind the challenge.
"Enough with the 'we created a hacking monster' games. Do it for real. I put this in a BitGo wallet for you. Go get it. 100 BTC."
The coins are protected by BitGo's institutional multi-signature custody system. Belshe's point is simple: if AI is really capable of breaking into real-world systems, here is a valuable target to prove it.
The wallet above holds the full 100 BTC. This page checks the address against the public Bitcoin ledger every 60 seconds. If the coins ever move, the status will change to Moved.
