Ongoing threats against crypto owners have led Didi Taihuttu, head of the so-called "Bitcoin Family", to change how his family stores their digital assets.

Known for putting everything into Bitcoin BTC $90,426.22 back in 2017, the family uses a much stricter and more spread-out security system to reduce risks.

According to a June 7 report by CNBC, their new method splits the main recovery phrase into four parts. Each part is encrypted and engraved by hand onto fireproof metal plates.

These are then hidden in four different locations worldwide. To make the setup even safer, Taihuttu has changed some of the words in the phrase.

Taihuttu explained that even if someone threatened him in person, they would not be able to access much. What is available on his phone or wallet is only a small portion of what they own.

In a recent interview, Taihuttu stated that they no longer post their location in real-time. After getting messages from people who were tracking their travels online, they decided it was too risky to share live updates. The family chooses to reveal their locations only after they have left.

Most of their Bitcoin, about 65%, is stored offline in cold storage. The smaller amount used for everyday spending and trading stays in online wallets, but those are set up with extra approval steps so that one person alone cannot send the funds.

Meanwhile, Chainalysis, a blockchain analytics company, reported on June 5 that the 300 Bitcoin sent to Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht likely came from AlphaBay, a dark web marketplace. What did the company say? Read the full story.
