Over 40 Crypto Organizations Demand AI Access for Bitcoin Developers

More than 40 crypto organizations have called for early and controlled access to advanced models from artificial intelligence laboratories for Bitcoin developers. In an open letter published on August 10, the Bitcoin Policy Institute requested the establishment of reliable access programs for teams advocating open-source financial infrastructure. The letter noted that Bitcoin Core developers might be limited in accessing certain advanced tools due to public protection layers, which could lead them to resort to weaker models. The value of the Bitcoin network exceeds $1 trillion. The organization emphasized that without the establishment of private access programs, defense teams could be left without the necessary tools to counter emerging threats. It was stated that advanced AI capabilities allow for scanning large codebases and accelerating security processes. This demand has gained further importance due to recent cyberattacks in the crypto sector. According to DeFiLlama data, losses for crypto platforms exceeded $634 million in April 2026. Although the open letter did not directly link these losses to artificial intelligence, it highlighted that as AI's capacity for discovering vulnerabilities increases, defense teams also require similar capabilities. It remains unclear whether AI research centers will create specialized programs for security experts.
