TREE NEWS update: The attacker behind the Coldcard hack has moved $7.7 million in Bitcoin, nearly half of the funds stolen in the third wave. The stolen BTC was distributed across 293 separate vaults, which the hacker is emptying in order of size, starting with the largest. This marks a significant step in the ongoing movement of illicit funds.
Coldcard Hacker Moves $7.7M, Nearly Half of Third-Wave Bitcoin Haul
The systematic liquidation of vaults by size suggests a deliberate, operational approach to managing the stolen assets, rather than a panic dump. This matters because the pace and method of fund movement can influence market liquidity dynamics and the effectiveness of tracking efforts. For those monitoring the incident, the key question is whether the hacker accelerates or pauses after offloading the largest holdings, as that will signal their endgame. The concentration of nearly half the haul in one move underscores the scale of the third wave and the persistent challenge of tracing funds dispersed across many wallets.
