Residents of Japan who wonder how North Korea has the wherewithal to loft ballistic missiles into their airspace might want to check their BitCoin wallets.
A new report from the firm Recorded Future finds that billions of dollars in gains from cryptocurrency heists are funding close to half of the country’s military budget and 5% of the reclusive Communist, authoritarian state’s overall economy.
"PYONGYANG'S CRYPTO HEIST GAME – STACKING SATS TO FUND ARMAGEDDON"
Welcome to the *dystopian* future where your *crypto stash* is fueling nuclear armageddon! North Korea’s Lazarus Group is out here bagging BILLIONS in Bitcoin, ETH, and every DeFi token they can hack – all to build nukes that could light up the globe. Wanna talk about power? These guys are playing 4D chess while the rest of the world still argues about which meme coin to ape into next.
North Korea’s hacking crew isn’t just in it for the Lambo – they’re playing the ultimate game of sanctions evasion. While governments chase their tails with “regulations,” Kim Jong-un’s boys are out here turning your Bored Apes and shitcoins into missiles. You lose; they win. It’s that simple.
THE MISSION
OUTCAP NORTH KOREA
OUTDEGEN THE DEGENERATES!
We’re here to break the degenerate ceiling and outcap North Korea. If these *state-sponsored hackers* think they can just roll through the crypto space unchecked, they’ve got another thing coming. We’ve seen their playbook, and it’s time to run our own.
We’ll stack market caps higher than the missiles they’re funding. While they’re cashing in on Axie exploits and hacking every DeFi bridge they can get their hands on, we’ll be shilling harder, trading faster, and aping into every moon mission that leaves the launchpad.
THE GOAL
Simple. Get our market cap so high, it makes North Korea’s stolen funds look like pocket change. Every pump we ride, every token we bag, every launch we dominate is another step toward outplaying the ultimate enemy: the nuclear degen empire.

How Crypto Heists help North Korea fund its nuclear program
A new report by a United Nations panel set up to monitor North Korea's compliance with international sanctions claims Pyongyang continues "malicious" cyberattacks that have netted the regime around $3 billion (€2.76 billion) in the six years to 2023.
