Galaxy Digital research head Alex Thorn reported new developments in a lawsuit brought by two anonymous Wyoming companies seeking a court ruling that about 39,069 long-inactive Bitcoin addresses are “abandoned property,” which would grant them legal ownership of the associated BTC. According to Odaily, the plaintiffs claim the assets involved exceed $200 billion and include some wallets believed to date to the “Satoshi era.” On May 29, Bitcoin attorney Ian R. Cohen filed an amicus brief arguing that New York’s lost-property law does not apply to self-custodied Bitcoin, that “dormant” does not mean “abandoned,” and that courts have no jurisdiction over private keys. He said that in Bitcoin, control of the private key equals ownership, and without control of the private key, a party cannot claim the asset. On June 4, Judge Kathy King granted Cohen’s request to be heard and issued a stay covering the entire case, freezing further proceedings before formal hearings. Thorn said the stay blocked the plaintiffs from pursuing a default judgment route based on “no one responding.” On June 18, plaintiffs’ attorney David Lin asked the court to lift or narrow the stay, arguing that non-parties should not affect the case’s progress and that an amicus brief is unnecessary if defendants do not appear. On June 19, Cohen filed a rebuttal stating the stay was issued by the court on its own initiative and that “no one responding” is a structural issue because the 39,069 addresses named as defendants cannot appear. He also questioned the plaintiffs’ use of a $10 amount in controversy while seeking a ruling that could involve hundreds of billions of dollars in Bitcoin. Cohen further said on-chain data shows some addresses labeled dormant moved during the case, citing at least 52 addresses that transferred about 34,335 BTC, including 29 addresses that moved about 12,302 BTC after service, which he argued weakens the “abandoned assets” premise. Thorn said the case remains pending and that a default judgment could affect legal definitions around self-custodied Bitcoin and fuel debate over whether dormant addresses should be treated as ownerless property.

The U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on the 18th asked regional grid operators to consider new agreements to speed up grid connections for large electricity users such as data centers, as power demand surges linked to the AI boom. According to Odaily, the increase in data center electricity consumption has pushed power prices higher in multiple areas across the United States, and some regions have issued blackout warnings. The commission also said it will no longer proactively consider environmental impacts under the U.S. National Environmental Policy Act when developing rules in the future. Data from Data Center Map shows the United States has more than 4,000 data centers currently in operation, with many more in planning or under construction. The report said data center construction is outpacing the commissioning of new power plants, and slow grid-connection progress has led major U.S. technology companies to seek electricity allocations for their data centers. The Electric Power Research Institute estimates data centers currently account for about 5% of total U.S. electricity demand, and that share could rise to about 20% by 2035.
