Bitcoin Becomes a National Strategic Asset? U.S. Congressman Proposes Annual Purchase of 200,000 BTC, Locked for 20 Years Without Sale

U.S. Representative Nick Begich (R-Alaska) introduced the "American Reserve Modernization Act" (ARMA) on May 21, aiming to codify a strategic Bitcoin reserve into law. Building on a prior executive order, the bill seeks to establish a permanent national Bitcoin reserve managed by the Treasury Department. The proposed legislation would authorize the Treasury to acquire up to 200,000 Bitcoin annually for five years, targeting a total reserve of 1 million Bitcoin, roughly 5% of the total supply. All acquired Bitcoin would be locked and held for at least 20 years. Representative Begich likened Bitcoin's role in crypto to gold's in precious metals, calling it the dominant store of value in its asset class. The U.S. government currently holds approximately 328,000 Bitcoin, largely from law enforcement seizures, but lacks a coherent management strategy for these assets. Co-sponsors emphasized the urgency of addressing this gap. This move coincides with a wave of crypto-friendly legislation in Washington, including recent bipartisan committee approval of a major digital asset market structure bill. Concurrently, the Treasury has intensified crackdowns on illicit crypto finance, seizing hundreds of millions in assets, further highlighting the need for a comprehensive digital asset strategy. The White House has indicated that operational details for the strategic Bitcoin reserve are forthcoming, with key legal hurdles reportedly cleared.

Crypto Crime Hit Hard: $700 Million Frozen By DOJ Strike Force

A US law enforcement task force has frozen over $700 million in cryptocurrency linked to investment scams targeting Americans. The operation, which involved cooperation from crypto exchanges and legal processes, also took down more than 500 fraudulent websites and a Telegram channel used to recruit victims. Two Chinese nationals were named in arrest warrants for operating a scam compound in Burma. In a related move, the US State Department announced a $10 million reward for information disrupting scam centers in Burma. Singaporean authorities, alongside major crypto exchanges and analytics firms, also prevented nearly $3 million in losses through a parallel operation. The scale of cybercrime remains vast, with the FBI reporting over $20 billion in losses in 2025.

$467K In Crypto Seized As Spain Cracks Down On Illegal Piracy Platform

Spanish police seized €400,000 ($467,000) in cryptocurrency from two cold wallets hidden inside a wall thermometer during a raid in Almería. Three suspects were arrested in connection with the country’s largest illegal Spanish-language manga distribution platform, operational since 2014. The site generated over €4 million ($4.55 million) in ad revenue by offering pirated content. Authorities have not confirmed whether they can access the seized funds, as cold wallets require PINs or seed phrases. The case highlights challenges law enforcement face in handling crypto seizures, illustrated by custody failures in other countries like South Korea.

$35M Breakthrough: Irish Authorities Crack Bitcoin Wallet Linked To 2019 Drug Seizure

Irish authorities, with Europol's support, have successfully accessed a seized Bitcoin wallet containing 500 BTC (worth ~$35.4 million) linked to a 2019 drug case. The wallet, part of a larger 6,000 BTC seizure from a cannabis operation, had been inaccessible for years due to lost private keys. The breakthrough, involving technical decryption, raises the possibility of recovering the remaining 5,500 BTC (valued at ~$392 million) from other seized wallets. The assets were originally confiscated from Clifton Collins, who invested in Bitcoin early and stored his keys on a paper that was later lost.

South Korea Tightens Crypto Seizure Rules After Major Security Failures

Following major security failures, South Korea National Police Agency has introduced new, stricter rules for handling seized cryptocurrencies. The updated guidelines mandate that law enforcement must maintain full control of private keys and use secure storage methods, addressing vulnerabilities exposed by past incidents. These include a 2021 case where seized Bitcoin was lost due to reliance on a third-party custodian and another where police arrested suspects linked to stolen assets from seized wallets. The new framework establishes clear procedures for seizure, storage, and the management of privacy-focused coins. This is part of a broader government effort, involving financial regulators, to strengthen oversight and prevent future mismanagement of digital assets by public institutions.

DOJ, Europol Freeze $3.5M In Crypto After Dismantling Global Proxy Fraud Network

US and European authorities dismantled SocksEscort, a global proxy service that used malware (AVrecon) to hijack over 369,000 devices in 163 countries, allowing criminals to hide their locations. The service, operating for years, generated at least $5.7 million from users who paid in cryptocurrency for anonymity. A coordinated law enforcement effort across multiple countries resulted in the seizure of 34 domains, takedown of servers, and freezing of $3.5 million in crypto. The network was linked to various crimes, including a $1 million cryptocurrency theft from a New York resident, bank fraud, and account takeovers.

Bitcoin Heist to Payday: South Korean Prosecutors Turn Phished Coins Into Cash

South Korean prosecutors from the Gwangju District Office sold 320.8 Bitcoin, worth approximately 31.5 billion won, that were recovered from a phishing incident. The BTC, originally seized from an illegal gambling operation, was lost during a transfer but later returned to a wallet controlled by prosecutors. They liquidated the assets on a domestic exchange over 11 days to avoid market disruption. This incident highlights ongoing challenges for governments in securely managing seized digital assets, following a previous case where private keys were leaked. The sale underscores law-enforcement liquidations as a structural source of BTC supply and the complexities of converting crypto to cash without affecting prices.

The theft was initially flagged by blockchain investigator ZachXBT in January, who identified suspicious transactions linked to an individual named "John." Following the allegations, U.S. agencies began reviewing the incident. The case highlights ongoing concerns about crypto custody risks as government-held digital assets grow. Authorities have not confirmed if any stolen funds were recovered.

South Korea To Review Seized Crypto Custody Practices After Recovery Phase Leak Incident

South Korean financial authorities, led by Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol, have pledged to review and strengthen the management of seized crypto assets after a series of security incidents resulted in losses of nearly $30 million. This decision follows a recent leak by the National Tax Service, which accidentally exposed a wallet’s recovery seed phrase in a press release, leading to the theft of $4.8 million in tokens. The government plans to collaborate with agencies like the Financial Services Commission to enhance security measures and prevent future breaches. This incident is part of a broader pattern, including earlier losses of $21 million in Bitcoin from a prosecutor’s office and $1.4 million from a police station, highlighting systemic vulnerabilities in the custody of digital assets by public institutions.

South Korea to Review Crypto Handling and Prevent Recurrence

South Korea's Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol announced a government review of crypto handling and management practices following several high-profile failures. The review, to be conducted urgently with the Financial Services Commission and Financial Supervisory Service, aims to prevent recurrence of incidents like leaks from seized assets. This comes after the National Tax Service accidentally exposed a recovery phrase in a press photo, leading to the loss of $4.8 million in digital assets. Separately, exchange Bithumb mistakenly sent 620,000 BTC instead of won to customers during a promotion, though most funds were recovered. The state clarified it only holds crypto obtained through legal enforcement actions like criminal investigations or tax seizures.
