Hoskinson promises audit, is ‘deeply hurt’ by $600M Cardano treasury claims

The Cardano Foundation is preparing to release an audit report on its treasury holdings after fresh allegations surfaced claiming misappropriation of roughly $600 million worth of ADA tokens. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson is facing renewed scrutiny from community members, including non-fungible token artist Masato Alexander, who alleged that Hoskinson manipulated the Cardano ledger using a “genesis key to rewrite it and take control” of $619 million worth of Cardano ( ADA ) during the network’s 2021 Allegra hard fork.

The vast majority was claimed, and the remaining that was forfeited after seven years of waiting was donated to Intersect,” Hoskinson wrote in a May 6 X post .

Speaking at Paris Blockchain Week 2025 , Hoskinson emphasized the need for collaborative economics in the crypto industry to counter growing competition from traditional tech firms entering the blockchain space due to growing regulatory clarity.
