Coinkite sued after Coldcard wallet flaw leads to $140M bitcoin theft

Coinkite faces a class action lawsuit after a firmware flaw in its Coldcard hardware wallets generated predictable recovery phrases, exposing users to theft of over $140 million in bitcoin. The vulnerability, present for more than five years, allowed attackers to recreate private keys without physical access to the wallets. The flaw was linked to a software error that replaced the intended random number generator with a less secure one. Coinkite disclosed the issue in July 2026 and released a fix, but customers had to create new recovery phrases to secure their funds. The lawsuit alleges Coinkite failed to notify affected users directly and challenges the company's liability limits. The case is ongoing with no damages awarded yet.

The Coinkite Coldcard wallet flaw and lawsuit are notable for readers tracking cryptocurrency security.
