Craig Wright Files Lawsuit Against Bitcoin Core and Square Without Legal Representation

On October 13, Craig Wright made headlines as he seemingly took on the role of his own legal counsel in a significant case against Bitcoin Core and Square, the payment processing firm founded by Jack Dorsey. Reports from Bitmex Research suggest that the UK High Court records indicate Wright has filed a lawsuit as a distinct party, implying self-representation without the backing of a professional attorney. While the lawsuit explicitly targets Bitcoin Core and Square Up Europe Ltd., which is instrumental in Bitcoin’s software distribution, the details defining the lawsuit’s objectives remain unspecified in the court’s tracking updates. Recently, Wright also addressed potential legal issues surrounding MicroStrategy via a post on X, though it remains uncertain if this is related to his current legal challenges. Currently, he is seeking to initiate three legal appeals in the UK, two of which involve the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), and one is directed at Peter McCormack, all of which await judicial consent.
