What CoinDesk reports
Marc van der Chijs sold much of his bitcoin to invest in AI. Now, growing concerns about the technology accompany a move to put some profits back into crypto.

What remains unknown
- The report does not establish whether the described technology is proposed, in testing or live in production.
- No matched primary document independently supporting the central claim is linked to this page.
