Thailand’s Supreme Court ruled bitcoin qualifies as property in a robbery case, rejecting a defendant’s claim it has no value of its own. The court upheld a 10-year sentence over a 2022 Koh Samui incident where a victim was forced to exchange $50,000 for about 2.48 BTC. Judges cited Thailand’s 2018 digital asset decree and said bitcoin’s lack of legal tender status does not stop it being property.
