Movement of 35.55 BTC from wallet 1LwWtSs7tMCwcRczQd5kVMv3xpWw6w4Sxe recorded in Bitcoin block 952,104 on June 2, 2026 — noted in reporting on the dormant bitcoin wallets lawsuit. The address moved 35.55 BTC (about $2.54 million) in a transaction confirmed at 16:46 UTC that day, with 15 BTC sent and 20.55 BTC returned as change in transaction b90755b. The coins were originally received on March 27, 2011, when bitcoin traded at under $1.
The lawsuit was filed on March 11, 2026, in the New York County Supreme Court under index number 153119/2026. The named plaintiffs in the complaint are Noah Doe, ABC Company and XYZ Company, each listed as parties in the court filing. The complaint invokes New York Personal Property Law Article 7-B (the state’s lost-property statute) as the legal basis for the plaintiffs’ claim. Under that statutory theory, the plaintiffs seek ownership of roughly 3.8 million bitcoin, which the filing values at approximately $285 billion. The complaint identifies Noah Doe specifically as a finder asserting rights under the abandoned-property doctrine in support of the group’s asserted ownership claim in the filing.
The court authorized on-chain service of defendants via OP_RETURN messages that embed text and URLs on the Bitcoin blockchain. Noah Doe’s blockchain consultant, Salomon Brothers Strategic Advisors, broadcast 98 batches of dust transactions across blocks 950,446–950,576 in June–July 2025; each batch carried 546 satoshis and linked to the abandonment notice. Those dust transactions were used to deliver legal notice on-chain as recorded in the litigation record. The 1LwWt wallet was served on July 31, 2025, with a 90‑day response window, and the wallet’s coin movement occurred roughly seven months after that 90‑day window had expired and about three months after the lawsuit was filed.
Galaxy Research identified the wallet as defendant #38215, and Galaxy Research’s Alex Thorn commented, “Apparently, they were not, in fact, abandoned.” The wallet’s transaction is noted in public analysis as among the first publicly visible responses from inside the active case. The foregoing details summarize the litigation process steps and the response tied to that specific wallet as recorded in public filings and blockchain activity.
The dormant bitcoin wallets lawsuit has coincided with renewed activity from long-inactive addresses, producing some of the first publicly visible on-chain responses associated with the case.
The court filing and wallet movements have brought dormant holdings and their competing ownership claims into public view and prompted analysis from blockchain researchers.
