Please note that updating after the fact is not enough. Treat the entire machine as compromised.
📢 Our incident response investigation identified an attack vector targeting instances running versions 2.4.1 (Jul 23, 2026) or older. We have no credible reports of hot wallet drains for users running the latest 2.4.7 release. We again urge everyone to keep their BTCPay Server updated.

Here's where I see things differently from Spiral's vision of Bitcoin adoption.
Hold Bitcoin without giving up custody. Spend it anywhere, even where Bitcoin isn't accepted. The case for Bitcoin-native mobile money.

All the gigabrains in Bitcoin gathered around one table, yet somehow, the economics of Bitcoin never came up.

This is a much sainer take on the ai risk against cryptography. It might break something. It probably means we increasse the number of bits of security. Think of it like vaccinating your children, not injection them with raw milk that's allegedly ai safe.
I’ve had a few people write to ask me to follow up on a (reply!) tweet I wrote that’s gotten a lot of retweets. I considered deleting it just to avoid the headache, but I think that would make people more paranoid. So let me share my thoughts.

We can’t assess AI risk to cryptography, but we can assess people making nonsensical claims about that risk. If AI breaks a widely used cryptographic primitive, the most likely target is hash functions. Humans already broke MD2, MD5, SHA-1. RSA and elliptic curves have held up.

We're thrilled to share that @ColeMacro, CEO of @Strive, will join us for Capital Sessions in Lugano on 21 October. Strive has more than doubled its Bitcoin since January to 27,000+ BTC, much of it funded by SATA, its daily-dividend preferred stock. A unique opportunity to tap into the mind of one of the most innovative operator in the space.

The obsession with reducing Bitcoin to a payment use case is becoming quite cringe: “Here is Bitcoin. Use it for payments, and apparently nothing else.”

Quick but intense chat with @TychoOnnasch of @Treasury_BTC Includes a contrarian take on why having USDT issued on Bitcoin isn’t that useful (unless you’re fundraising)
