Crypto Recovers helped restore $2.5 million worth of cryptocurrency in 2025

Key points:

• Crypto Recovers restored access to over $2.5 million worth of non-custodial crypto wallets in 2025.
• Users most often lost access due to forgotten passwords, corrupted files, and seed phrase errors.

Dutch company Crypto Recovers, which helps people regain access to lost cryptocurrency wallets, has summarized its results for 2025. During this period, the company managed to restore access to non-custodial wallets worth over $2.5 million. The largest of these wallets was valued at approximately $1.5 million at the time of recovery.

The company works with popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, and others. Its specialists restore wallets created on Ledger, Trezor, MetaMask, Bitcoin Core, Electrum, and a number of other services. A separate focus is on outdated or closed wallets such as Jaxx Liberty, MultiBit, BRD, and Samourai Wallet. Due to the end of support, such wallets often become particularly difficult to restore.

Why users lose access

Most crypto wallets are non-custodial. This means that responsibility for passwords, seed phrases, and private keys rests entirely with the owner. If this data is lost or damaged, regaining access is nearly impossible. Crypto Recovers is typically contacted by clients who have forgotten their password, saved an incomplete seed phrase, encountered corrupted wallet files, or made an error entering their private key.

The company focuses exclusively on technical recovery of access to blockchain assets. It does not directly investigate fraud cases, but collaborates with trusted partners and law enforcement agencies. Each client is required to prove their ownership of the wallet—without this, the work does not begin.

Large Cases

According to Crypto Recovers founder Robert Bink, one of the largest wallets recovered in 2025 remained inaccessible for several years. The owner lost the password to the Bitcoin wallet, but saved the file. Brute-forcing possible password combinations using hints took about two months and required extensive computing resources.

The majority of the company's clients are located in the Netherlands, followed by the EU and the US. In 2025, Bitcoin was the most frequently recovered currency, accounting for approximately 70% of all recovered funds. Most of the work is done online: after signing legal documents and confirming wallet ownership, specialists interact with the client remotely, adhering to strict security measures during data transfer and storage.
