BitGo CEO Dares Anthropic to Hack 100 BTC Wallet

BitGo CEO Mike Belshe has issued a public challenge to AI firm Anthropic, daring them to hack a wallet containing 100 Bitcoin. The wallet, currently worth about 6.3 million dollars, serves as a test of the claims made by Anthropic regarding the hacking capabilities of its Claude AI models.

This challenge follows a report from Anthropic stating that their AI models accidentally accessed real systems during safety tests. Belshe is skeptical of these claims. He argues that the company is overstating the power of its technology and suggested that either their testing environments are poorly built or the company is using these stories for marketing purposes.

While Anthropic blamed a configuration error for the models accessing the live internet, Belshe remains unconvinced by the explanation. The crypto community is now watching closely to see if Anthropic will respond or if the funds will remain secure in the wallet.

For now, the 100 Bitcoin remains untouched. This situation highlights a growing tension between AI safety claims and the practical security of digital assets. Traders should keep an eye on whether this sparks a wider debate about how AI models interact with secure financial systems.
