Athena Bitcoin Florida TCPA Class Action Settlement
Athena Bitcoin kept texting people after they said STOP, and there's a $4.5 million settlement to compensate them. You need to file a claim by June 30, 2026 to get a cash payment — nothing happens automatically.
Payment amount set by the settlement administrator
Your share comes from a $4.5 million settlement pool split between two groups of claimants. The more unwanted texts you got after sending STOP, the larger your share — but the final per-person amount depends on how many valid claims are submitted in total.
📄 Proof requirement not specified here — check the official site for what documentation, if any, a claim needs.

Who may qualify
You're covered if you're a residential US subscriber who texted STOP to Athena Bitcoin between August 20, 2020 and August 20, 2024, and then received at least 2 more promotional texts from them more than 30 days later. If you're a Florida resident with a Florida area code who did the same thing between July 1, 2021 and August 20, 2024 but got at least 1 more text more than 15 days later, you qualify under a separate Florida class with its own website.

How to file this claim
- Confirm you resided in Florida at any time between July 1, 2021 and August 20, 2024 and had a Florida area code phone number
- Confirm you sent a text containing only the word 'stop' to Athena Bitcoin during that period and then received at least one promotional text more than 15 days later
- Locate your class member ID from the settlement notice you received in the mail or email
- File your claim online at https://forms.ksacms.com/efiling/fr/eform/athenabitcointcpalitigationftsa_claimform/new or print and mail the PDF claim form to Kroll Settlement Administration LLC, P.O. Box 5324, New York, NY 10150-5324
- On the form, provide the phone number(s) that received Athena text messages and attest to your Florida residency
- Submit before the claim deadline so your submission is received or postmarked in time
What the form asks
- — Every phone number at which you received Athena Bitcoin promotional texts after sending 'stop' (Your own phone records or text message history)
- — Confirmation that you resided in Florida between July 1, 2021 and August 20, 2024 (Your own knowledge; supporting documents such as a utility bill or lease may help if questioned)

Documents you'll need
Watch out for
- Online filers must enter the class member ID from their settlement notice — have it ready before starting the online form
- Your payment will be reduced proportionally by the total number of claims filed by both FTSA and IDNC class members — the more claimants, the smaller each share
- Mailed claim forms must be postmarked by the deadline; do not wait until the last day to mail
- This FTSA claim form covers only Florida residents — if you are an IDNC class member, you must file at a different claims portal
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.

How do I know which settlement website to use?
There are two separate websites. If you're in the general IDNC class (any US residential subscriber), use athenabitcointcpalitigation.com. If you're a Florida resident with a Florida area code, you're in the FTSA class and should use athenabitcointcpalitigation2.com.
Do I need proof that I sent STOP or that I got the texts?
Proof is optional, not required. If you have screenshots or records of the texts, include them — but you can still file without them.
When will I get paid?
Not right away. The court's Final Approval Hearing is scheduled for August 10, 2026. Payments won't go out until after the court approves the settlement and it becomes final.
What if I want to sue Athena separately instead?
You can opt out of the settlement by mailing a written exclusion request postmarked by May 15, 2026. That lets you keep your right to file your own lawsuit, but you'd get nothing from this settlement.
