Who may qualify
You self-certify the basics when you file — the settlement administrator makes the final eligibility decision.
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 may qualify under a separate Florida class with its own website.

Important dates
How hard is this claim to file?
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)
- — The unique ID printed on the settlement notice you received (The mailed or emailed settlement notice from Kroll Settlement Administration)
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.

Where is the official Athena Bitcoin Florida TCPA Class Action Settlement claim form?
The official claim form is hosted by the settlement administrator, Kroll Settlement Administration LLC. Use the 'Open official claim form' button on this page — never pay a fee to file.
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.

Where to act
When you are ready, you open the official claim form yourself. SettleSignal does not file claims or determine eligibility.
You'll need the Claim ID from your notice
The official claim form asks for the Claim ID (or Notice ID) the settlement mailed or emailed to the people it identified. Didn't get one? Here's how to get it:
- Check your email (including spam) and any mail from around when the settlement was announced — the Claim ID is usually printed right on the notice.
- Still can't find it? Contact the settlement administrator (Kroll Settlement Administration LLC), tell them you believe you're a class member (for example, a customer or patient in the covered period), and ask them to look you up and send your Claim ID.
Not ready to file today? Track it free — we'll remind you 30, 14, 7, and 1 day before Jun 30, 2026, and keep your claim details in one place.
