Overview
- A Coinbase source told Business Insider that Durant accessed his Coinbase account on Wednesday after years without entry.
- Agent Rich Kleiman said the lockout stemmed from a user error and that they had been working directly with Coinbase on recovery.
- Durant began buying bitcoin in 2016 while with the Warriors, and the holdings were never sold during the access lapse.
- Bitcoin has risen from under $650 in late 2016 to roughly $116,000–$117,000 this month, magnifying the value of early purchases.
- Neither Durant nor Coinbase disclosed the size of the holdings, and Coinbase emphasized its in‑app password reset tools and 24/7 support.
