US court clears FBI of wrongdoing by erasing 3,400 BTC hard drives: Cryptocurrency "permanently lost" amounts to nearly 3.7 million coins.

According to a report by Cointelegraph on the X platform, Odaily reports that a US court ruled the FBI not liable for the deletion of a hard drive containing 3,400 BTC, because the owner later admitted ownership. This incident increases the number of cryptocurrencies believed to be irrecoverable, with an estimated 3.7 million BTC (approximately 18% of the total supply) currently missing.
