Can I get information about the Bitcoin wallet owner?

No, the recipient’s Bitcoin address alone does not provide any information about the recipient’s identity.

Privacy was important to Bitcoin’s inventor, and it was difficult to trace transaction participants based on Bitcoin transaction information alone.

If the recipient used a “custodial wallet,” which is a business account rather than a typical “non-custodial” personally managed wallet, some people claim that in some cases they can identify the business that provided the account. However, the company has an obligation to protect its customers’ personal information. Obtaining information from them may require a court order from a foreign court.
