Kaitlyn Siragusa, better known as Amouranth, has alleged that she was the target of a violent home invasion on March 2, with the attackers specifically demanding her cryptocurrency.
Armed Robbery Allegedly Targeted Amouranth’s Crypto Fortune
In a series of posts on X, the popular streamer detailed the terrifying encounter, stating that three armed men broke into her home, yelling for her crypto holdings.
This incident comes just months after Amouranth publicly revealed her Bitcoin stash. In November 2024, she shared a Coinbase screenshot showing that she held approximately 211 Bitcoin, worth around 20 million dollars at the time. The screenshot also indicated she owned 80,000 dollars in Ether.
On March 3, she provided an update, posting a security camera video that appeared to show her leading the men to another area of her property before three loud noises were heard, prompting the intruders to flee.
Crypto Wrench Attacks on the Rise
Amouranth’s case is part of a growing trend of crypto wrench attacks, where criminals use physical force or threats to steal cryptocurrency.
Other high-profile incidents in 2025 include:
- January: A Canadian crypto forum moderator went into hiding after an attempted kidnapping to access his Bitcoin.
- January 21: David Balland, co-founder of Ledger, was allegedly abducted from his home, with kidnappers demanding a crypto ransom.
- February: An alleged crypto-related home invasion took place in Chicago.
Security experts warn that high-profile crypto holders are becoming prime targets. A pseudonymous security analyst, Dr. Anon, advised crypto investors to maintain a decoy wallet with only a small portion of funds to minimize losses in such attacks.
Amouranth has been notably open about her finances, frequently discussing her investments, earnings, and business ventures. She previously appeared on a YouTube personal finance show and was the most-watched female streamer on Twitch in 2021 and 2022. More recently, she expanded into OnlyFans, further increasing her financial visibility.
