They're Clawing Back 12,000 Bitcoin — Yours Could Be Next | The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast

$970M. ~12,000 Bitcoin. The Prime Trust estate is trying to CLAW BACK coins that already LEFT Swan Bitcoin — and Strike, Galaxy & Fold are next. 2026's lesson: NOT YOUR KEYS, NOT YOUR COINS. Why Canadians must self-custody NOW.

On this week's Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast, Joey and Len break down the biggest custody story in years: a bankruptcy court reaching back through the exit door to reclaim roughly 11,994 BTC ($938M), $24.66M in cash from Swan Bitcoin — the clearest "not your keys, not your coins" lesson yet. Then the rest of a brutal self-custody week, plus the privacy tools fighting back.

In this episode:

- Prime Trust's $970M clawback vs Swan Bitcoin — and why Strike, Galaxy, Fold Compass are next
- A Ledger holder loses $1M to a fake paper "support" letter
- $6.7M drained from a Kraken & Coinbase user, $5.3M laundered through Tornado Cash
- Bitcoin Depot bankruptcy: 9,000+ Bitcoin ATMs go dark
- Tether tightens its grip on Twenty One Capital — Jack Mallers says Strike is still his
- Australia switches on zero-threshold transfer surveillance (Canada is next)
- Italy proves Ordinals are fully traceable using Chainalysis
- Sparrow Wallet ships Silent Payments — the privacy off-ramp

Notable North: the Pearson airport security-clearance scandal, Burlington home invasions, Oakville's "rain tax," , Toronto police charged in Spain, and more.

The lesson of 2026 is simple: every custodian, exchange and ATM is a point of failure. The only Bitcoin that's truly yours is the Bitcoin only you can move. Self-custody isn't paranoia — it's the plan.
