🚨Physical attacks on holders of #bitcoin : A growing threat in 2025
In 2025, owning Bitcoin has become a tangible risk. The first seven months of the year have recorded 35 physical attacks on Bitcoin holders, ranging from thefts to kidnappings, a staggering figure. This increase coincides with the value of Bitcoin surpassing $118,500, attracting criminals who see in the cryptocurrency a difficult-to-trace loot.
The attacks are concentrated in regions with high adoption like the U.S. and Europe. This dangerous trend has driven up the demand for secure custody solutions, such as those from Sberbank. Experts advise investors to use cold wallets and be extremely discreet with their holdings to safeguard their integrity and assets.
