A user's unique success story on the social network X has sparked widespread discussion. By using Anthropic's Claude AI chatbot, they managed to recover 5 Bitcoin (approximately 320,000 USD) that had been inaccessible for over a decade. This was reported by Cointelegraph.com reports .
The user had set complex passwords on the blockchain.info platform several years ago but forgot one of them. For the first eight weeks, they tested billions of passwords using various programs, but with no success. As a final attempt, they uploaded their old laptops and college-era notes into the Claude system.
The AI analyzed over 1 gigabyte of data, including the user's two Mac computers, external storage devices, iCloud, and Gmail messages. As a result, Claude helped locate a crucial wallet backup file from 2019. Subsequently, the user restored the password using notes from old notebooks and regained access to their Bitcoin wallet.
According to industry reports, approximately 2.3 million to 4 million Bitcoin are currently inaccessible due to lost passwords or seed phrases. This accounts for 11% to 19% of the total crypto supply.
This case has sparked hope for cryptocurrency owners. Although the user did not fully disclose direct evidence, Blockchain.com data confirms that 5 Bitcoin, which had been dormant since 2015, were moved to another address on May 13.
