Jameson Lopp's archive of physical attacks on crypto holders, covering home invasions, kidnappings, violent robberies and extortion back to 2014, now lists about 702 incidents, roughly double its earlier size. Most of the new entries came from outside work. A researcher known as Pizza Bitcoiner built a separate database of 670 verified incidents across 72 countries from January 2020 to mid-October 2026 using AI-assisted searches of local-language news, court records and police reports, found 375 cases missing from Lopp's collection, and about 351 of those have been added. Lopp credited the work on X on October 16: "Kudos to Pizza Bitcoiner for finding hundreds of new attack reports via agentic searches." The researcher's own figures are stark: 413 incidents involved victims held against their will, 300 resulted in injuries and 31 in deaths, with reported losses of about $394 million across the 447 cases where a figure was available. Annual counts rose from 37 in 2020 to 165 in 2025, with 134 more through mid-October this year, and France stands out as a hotspot alongside the United States. Bitcoin.com News flags a caveat: better searching and wider language coverage explain part of that rise, so the trend line likely overstates how fast the crime itself is growing. Even on a conservative reading, holding your own keys protects against remote theft and leaves physical security as a separate problem to plan for.
