🇬🇧 UK judge dismisses $770M Bitcoin landfill hard drive case A UK judge has dismissed James Howells' legal case to recover a hard drive containing 8,000 BTC mined in 2009, currently valued at about $770 million, from a landfill. Howells accidentally discarded the hard drive in 2013 when Bitcoin was trading at only $13. The judge noted there was no realistic chance of success and upheld the council's claim that it owned the hard drive, ruling that Howells was not entitled to attempt its retrieval. Howells has speculated that the bitcoin on his hard drive could be worth £1 billion by next year and has vowed to take his case to the Supreme Court.

'Bitcoin Freedom Act' introduced in Oklahoma Sen. Dusty Deevers has proposed the Bitcoin Freedom Act, a legislative initiative to integrate Bitcoin into Oklahoma's economy. The bill, SB325, would allow employees to choose bitcoin as a payment option and enable vendors to accept bitcoin transactions. It guarantees that participation is voluntary, upholding free-market principles and empowering employees, employers, and businesses to select the payment methods that suit them best. "In a time when inflation is eroding the purchasing power of hard-working Oklahomans, Bitcoin provides a unique opportunity to protect earnings and investments. As Bitcoin continues to rise and the value of the dollar continues to be printed away in Washington D.C., Oklahoma must act to protect our people," Deevers said. https://legiscan.com/OK/text/SB325/2025

The U.S. government has received final approval from the Northern District Court of California to liquidate 69,370 BTC from federal seizure, ending a four-year legal battle tied to the Silk Road marketplace. Chief Judge Richard Seeborg denied a motion to block the forfeiture, allowing the DOJ to sell the assets valued at $6.5 billion, though immediate liquidation is not guaranteed due to administrative processes. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.368440/gov.uscourts.cand.368440.173.0.pdf

🇨🇿 Governors of the Czech National Bank (CNB) are open to the idea of including Bitcoin in the country's foreign exchange reserves, though no concrete plans are in place yet. Currently, the CNB's diversification strategy aims to increase its gold holdings, targeting a gold share of about 5% of total assets by 2028.
