The Bitcoin Red Team said it filed 4,962 findings across 390 open-source projects in just 27.5 hours, a pace that turned an AI-assisted audit into one of the most aggressive sweeps of Bitcoin software yet. Calle said the team also identified 85 critical issues and 635 high-severity issues as it pushed through the work.
That is why Bitcoin price today is being searched alongside a security story. The latest numbers arrived after a recent catastrophic Coldcard vulnerability was exploited to the tune of more than $100 million, and they land while AI-driven hacking is already forcing other crypto businesses to change course. Just days earlier, Boltz exchange said it would pause operations to catch up with those attacks.
Calle, a software engineer and the creator of the Android version of Bitchat, said the team was averaging 2.31 h+c findings per person per hour at the 27.5-hour mark. He said the Red Team had spent more than $40,000 in AI tokens on the audit, with OpenSats covering the expenses that were last tallied at over $40,000.
The scale matters because the Red Team said its custom harness reached 171,599 lines of code at one point and was built to identify and test critical Bitcoin software libraries and other high-load-bearing code. It is also meant to reproduce vulnerabilities, document them, and package the proven data into useful reports, which is what gives the findings weight beyond a raw count.
But there is a gap in the public picture. The team says it has no website or GitHub repository to point to, even as it describes a fast-moving security effort across hundreds of projects. That leaves the 85 critical issues hanging without a public map of which repositories were affected.
The Red Team says it intends to open source the harness, though it has not said when that will happen. Until then, the story is not just how fast the team found problems; it is whether the wider Bitcoin software community can review, verify, and act on them before the next wallet bug or automated attack lands.
