# Craig Wright Is Back With Another Absurd Lawsuit — $1 Trillion Over the $BTC Ticker



Here we go again. Craig Wright, the perpetual self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto, has decided to grace the courts with yet another lawsuit. This time, he's targeting Bitcoin Core developers and Square Up Europe Ltd., demanding £911 billion (roughly $1 trillion) because... reasons involving the $BTC ticker.

The wild part? **He's representing himself without a lawyer.** Apparently, no legal team wants to touch this case with a ten-foot pole after his previous courtroom disasters.

# # The Setup

Craig claims he had some vague "partnership" with Bitcoin Core devs and that he's somehow entitled to massive compensation over the ticker symbol. He's even thrown down a gauntlet: debate him on Bitcoin's original design, and if they prove they're staying true to Satoshi's vision, he'll drop the suit.

Spoiler alert: Nobody's taking that bet.

# # Pattern Recognition

This lawsuit comes hot on the heels of his "devastating" loss to COPA (Crypto Open Patent Alliance). The High Court told him flat out — you cannot claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto in any legal capacity. Justice James Mellor was brutal, calling Wright's behavior "a serious abuse of court process" after finding forged documents and repeated lies.

But here's the kicker: the court didn't ban him from filing more cases. So naturally, Craig's weaponizing that loophole.

# # What's Next?

He's already hinting at legal threats against MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor next. In his own words, he's framing this crusade as "setting the record straight" about Bitcoin's true nature and control.

The irony? The legal system has limited leverage to shut him down completely. Free speech still protects his claims that he's Satoshi, even though courts have demolished his credibility. He can keep filing suits as long as there's a technical legal basis, however thin.

Justice Mellor flagged that if left unchecked, Craig's tactics could seriously damage the integrity of the legal system itself. The question isn't whether he'll win — it's how much longer the courts are willing to let him use litigation as a publicity stunt.
