Thailand's Supreme Court rules Bitcoin is property, upholding 10-year sentence in crypto robbery case.

Thailand's Supreme Court confirmed that Bitcoin is legally considered property under criminal law, upholding a 10-year prison sentence for a man involved in a 2022 Koh Samui robbery where the victim was forced to convert $50,000 into Bitcoin and transfer it to the robbers. The court rejected the argument that Bitcoin lacks intrinsic value, citing its market price, tradability, and convertibility to cash. While Bitcoin is recognized as property, it is not legal tender in Thailand, maintaining the Bank of Thailand's stance. This ruling sets a precedent for future crypto-related theft cases, providing legal clarity for prosecutors and Bitcoin holders in Thailand.
