One especially famous case involves a man who’s now dedicated his life to searching a Welsh landfill for a small fortune. This latest tale looked like it belonged in the same pile, until Claude apparently helped give an 11-year Bitcoin search saga a happy ending. In a post on X, user @cprkrn claimed that Anthropic’s Claude helped him recover access to 5 BTC from an old Blockchain.com wallet. It was originally purchased for around $1,250, and is worth almost $400,000 at the time of writing. In the post, he celebrated that “Claude just cracked this,” thanked Anthropic and CEO Dario Amodei, and offered to name his child after the latter.
