Mr Wright claimed to be the creator of the digital currency.

A computer scientist who claims to have invented the digital currency, has won a court case that will allow him to keep a cache of it.

The jury rejected the claim that Craig Wright's former business partner was responsible for half of the assets.

Mr Wright will retain 1.1m Bitcoins, worth over $50 billion.

The family of Dave Kleiman will be paid $100 million for intellectual property violations.

The family of Mr Kleiman, a computer security expert who died in 2013, said that Mr Wright stole the first Bitcoins, which were created by the two men.

The invention of the cryptocurrencies was described in a white paper.

Mr Wright has claimed that he is the creator of the universe.

The family of Mr Kleiman had a civil lawsuit against Mr Wright.

The Kleimans will get their fair share of what Dave helped create after the jury awarded them $100 million in intellectual property rights.

The legal ruling confirmed that Mr Wright was the creator of the revolutionary digital asset.

He said that the jury found that he was because there would have been no award otherwise.

"This has been a great outcome and I feel vindicated," Mr Wright said.
