According to South Korean media outlet "Daily Economic News," the South Korean KOSDAQ-listed company Bitmax transferred all of its more than 550 bitcoins to cryptocurrency exchanges such as OKX, Bitget, Binance, and Bybit before implementing a 4-for-1 capital reduction.On-chain tracking shows that the transfers began on January 15, carried out in batches of 100 or 50 bitcoins, and were completed by February 5. Bitmax confirmed that it has transferred the bitcoins from its original custodian Koda to the aforementioned exchanges but stated that it still holds all bitcoins and refused to disclose the reason for the transfer. Currently, its official website still publicly displays a balance proof based on Koda's custody.Bitmax announced its bitcoin treasury strategy last March, allowing investors to gain indirect exposure to bitcoin by purchasing its shares.

Due to current regulations not requiring mandatory disclosure, Bitmax does not need to report the sale of bitcoins to the Financial Supervisory Service of Korea.

According to market news, documents from the High Court of England show that a man accused his estranged wife of obtaining the mnemonic phrase for his Trezor hardware wallet through secret recordings, stealing 2,323 bitcoins (approximately $172 million). The man installed recording devices at home after his daughter warned him that his wife was attempting to steal his bitcoins.The recordings included statements such as "the bitcoins have been transferred to me" and "take everything."

Given the volatility of bitcoin, the judge stated that a hearing needed to be scheduled as soon as possible.

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform, proposing a tool to enhance personal security and provide low-cost protection for civil liberties, which is that everyone should have an easy and "deniable" way to report emergencies.For example, by pre-setting a few secret words, when a watch, phone, or home device hears these words, it automatically dials 911 silently and transmits the location to the police in real-time. This is particularly effective for cryptocurrency holders who are concerned about being kidnapped or robbed.Vitalik stated that if the environment can ensure that there is at least a 20% chance the police will arrive immediately when a robbery occurs, and the robber cannot detect whether the alarm has been triggered, then such crimes will become unfeasible due to the high risk involved. Since this feature requires the victim to take action for it to operate, the risk of it being misused by the government for mass surveillance is relatively low.
