Bitcoin Depot reports $3.6 million hack after internal wallet breach
Bitcoin Depot, the largest U.S. Bitcoin ATM operator, disclosed that hackers stole roughly 50.903 BTC, valued at about $3.6 million, after breaching its corporate IT systems on March 23. The intrusion was confined to internal wallets and did not affect customer‑facing platforms. Investigations are ongoing to assess further costs.

Bitcoin developers are sharply divided over BIP-444, a proposal for a temporary soft fork that would cap arbitrary on‑chain data in non‑monetary transactions—targeting NFTs, JPEGs and memecoins—to curb so‑called “spam” and potential network/legal burdens. Proponents, including some client maintainers, argue the measure is a pragmatic one‑year stopgap to prevent overload and exposure to liability, while opponents warn it risks institutionalizing censorship and eroding Bitcoin’s permissionless ethos. The debate raises stakes for blockchain governance and could materially constrain certain use cases and innovation on Bitcoin depending on whether the sunset clause holds or the rule becomes de facto permanent.
