Abandoned Wallets Present A Risk to All Digital Wallet Holders
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 7, 2025 / Salomon Brothers today announced that its client completed the process of inserting notices into digital wallets in connection with its initiative to address the risks posed by abandoned wallets. An estimated .5% of digital wallets are abandoned by owners who lost their private keys and, according to the Wall Street Journal, as much as 20% of Bitcoin and other digital assets is held in those wallets.
Rogue states and criminal organizations with significant resources pose a credible threat to hack assets held in abandoned digital wallets. Older encryption protocols are vulnerable to new technologies, meaning bad actors could illegally gain access to abandoned wallets because these wallets cannot be upgraded to more secure wallets. Blockchain experts have identified this as a serious threat, warning that the threat is approaching faster than many expect.
“Securing wallets protects the millions of wallets that are not abandoned,” said R. Adam Smith, a Salomon Brothers representative. He continued, “risks to all digital wallet holders include government-imposed regulatory limits on crypto holdings in an effort to protect the integrity of crypto markets. All wallet holders therefore have an interest in supporting the resolution of this problem.”
The process of securing the wallets included, among other actions, the client causing the insertion of notices into long-dormant wallets. The notices provide wallet owners with at least 90 days to respond.
Notices were sent to wallets that appeared to be abandoned. The client expects that in some instances owners with private keys or other evidence of ownership will step forward.
The notice makes clear that an owner can demonstrate the wallet is not abandoned either by (1) using the private key to conduct an anonymous on-chain transaction; or (2) accessing the Salomon Brothers webpage address provided in the notice and completing the contact form found on the webpage.
Already, some owners responded to the notices by moving their digital assets to new wallets, thereby indicating that the wallets were not abandoned. Last month, owners of dozens of long-dormant wallets engaged in similar action to indicate continued ownership of the wallets.
Salomon Brothers is publicly announcing this initiative at this juncture following completion of the distribution of notices into wallets. Unfortunately, in advance of this announcement, some bloggers and some coin media incorrectly speculated about the notices and the motive of the sender. This announcement is intended in part to address any concerns due to these inaccurate claims.
Salomon Brothers’ client plans to allocate a portion of recovered digital assets to a fund intended for wallet owners who lost their keys. The client has engaged Salomon Brothers to administer this arrangement. Details of the recovery fund arrangements will be released in the coming months.

Recognized as one of the world’s largest sports and apparel licensors, U.S. Polo Assn. remains in the 23rd position overall, alongside other high-profile sport brands, such as the NFL Players Association, Formula 1, and the PGA Tour.
U.S. Polo Assn.’s authentic connection to the sport of polo continues to resonate with younger consumers and sports fans around the world, contributing to the brand’s No. 1 sports brand ranking and position within the Top 25 of the Top Global Licensors list for three consecutive years. The sports brand’s strong ranking for this year was based on delivering a record-breaking $2.5 billion in global retail sales in 2024. U.S. Polo Assn.’s worldwide footprint includes over 190 countries in more than 1,100 U.S. Polo Assn. stores, thousands of additional retail locations, more than 12 million social media followers, and over 50 e-commerce sites in 20 languages.
“Earning the No. 1 sports brand ranking while remaining at 23rd on License Global‘s Top Licensors list is a powerful validation of our global brand strategy and the tireless work of our USPA Global Team as well as worldwide strategic partners,” said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, the company that manages and markets the multi-billion-dollar U.S. Polo Assn. brand. “To be ranked alongside some of the most iconic names in sports and fashion reinforces our position as a top-performing global brand with an authentic connection to sport, style, and consumers around the world.”
License Global‘s Top Global Licensors list is a “who’s who” of licensing titans, derived from an annual study that “accounts for retail sales of licensed merchandise across all major sectors of business, from entertainment to sport, food and beverage, corporate brands, fashion, art and design, and much more.”

To be considered for inclusion, each brand or corporate entity must submit retail figures based on worldwide sales of licensed merchandise. In addition, License Global‘s editors do their own independent vetting and verification by consulting industry sources, annual reports, and financial documents. The world’s largest brand remains The Walt Disney Company at $62 billion in retail sales, with the fourth largest brand, NBC Universal, at $17 billion, and Warner Bros. Discovery, the sixth largest brand, at $15 billion.
“Looking ahead, I’m very optimistic about U.S. Polo Assn.’s global growth potential. We are on track to surpass $3 billion in sales in the near future and continue to open more store locations in both existing regions and exciting new markets,” added Prince.
