Strike's CEO calls this one of the most serious wallet security incidents Bitcoin has seen and urges affected users to act and to contact others who use the device. A severity characterisation from an exchange CEO, held as attributed commentary with reach, not as analysis. Element screenshot refused twice on 3 Aug 2026 (the attached video did not hydrate); the video itself was captured via gallery-dl (local only, video files are gitignored). Screenshot retry pending; joins the withheld set until it succeeds.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
