TechFlow News: On February 28, according to The Block, Mark Karpelès, former CEO of Mt. Gox, submitted a Bitcoin hard fork proposal on February 27, 2026, aiming to restore approximately 80,000 bitcoins (currently valued at over $5.2 billion) stolen during the 2011 hack. These funds have remained dormant in their associated addresses for 15 years. The proposal suggests introducing specific consensus rules that would permit spending these funds via signatures from Mt. Gox’s designated recovery address and returning them to creditors through the existing court-supervised rehabilitation process. The proposal has sparked controversy: supporters view it as a limited measure to resolve a clearly established case of theft, while opponents fear it could undermine Bitcoin’s immutability principle and set a dangerous precedent.
