U.S. court exempts FBI for mistakenly wiping 3,400 BTC hard drives, with the amount of Crypto Assets "permanently lost" approaching 3.7 million coins.

According to Mars Finance, Cointelegraph reported on the X platform that a U.S. court ruled that the FBI is not liable for the clearing of a hard drive containing 3,400 BTC, as the owner of the hard drive only admitted ownership later. This incident increases the number of Crypto Assets considered unrecoverable, with estimates suggesting that as many as 3.7 million BTC (approximately 18% of the total supply) are lost.
