Thailand\'s Supreme Court says bitcoin is property, not money, clarifies legal status
Thailand\'s Supreme Court has recognised bitcoin as property under criminal law, a decision that clarifies legal standards applied to holding and trading cryptocurrencies in the country. The court said bitcoin can be the subject of property crimes but is not legal tender. It distinguished between money used to settle debts and property that can be held and transferred. The ruling stems from a 2022 robbery case involving forced transfer of bitcoin.
