US Official Says Seized Bitcoin From Samourai Case Was Not Sold

A senior White House advisor confirmed that the 57.55 BTC (worth approximately $6.3 million) seized in the Samourai Wallet case has not been sold by the U.S. government. The Bitcoin will instead be held in the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, as directed by Executive Order 14233 signed by President Trump in March 2025. The clarification came after blockchain analysts observed a transfer to a Coinbase Prime address, sparking speculation about a potential sale. The Department of Justice stated the transfer was an internal custody procedure and not a liquidation. The case involved Samourai Wallet developers who pleaded guilty to operating an unlicensed money-transmitting service and money laundering. The policy to hold rather than auction seized Bitcoin aims to prevent market volatility, though opinions remain divided on the long-term implications of the government's crypto reserve strategy.

U.S. government confirms it did not sell Bitcoin seized from Samourai Wallet

The U.S. government has not sold the Bitcoin seized from Samourai Wallet, according to a confirmation from the Department of Justice (DOJ). The statement refutes earlier claims that the assets were liquidated, which would have violated Executive Order 14233 requiring forfeited Bitcoin to be retained. The DOJ clarified that the Bitcoin remains on the government’s balance sheet as part of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. On-chain data from Arkham supports this, showing no significant outflows from known U.S. government wallets. The confusion stemmed from historical precedent where seized Bitcoin was auctioned, but current policy under the executive order mandates holding such assets. The U.S. government continues to hold over 328,000 BTC, valued at more than $31 billion.

US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Is Still A ‘Priority,’ White House Adviser Says

White House adviser Patrick Witt confirms that establishing a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve remains a priority for the administration. Interagency discussions are ongoing to implement former President Trump’s executive order, which mandates treating federally held bitcoin as a long-term reserve asset. While legal and bureaucratic complexities are being addressed, Witt emphasized that the effort involves multiple agencies, including Treasury, Commerce, and the Department of Justice. He also clarified that bitcoin seized in the Samourai Wallet case has not been sold, despite speculation, and remains part of the government’s holdings. At the time of reporting, BTC was trading at $95,078.

Trump "Gets Serious": Powell Faces Investigation, Interest Rate Dispute Escalates

US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has publicly accused the US Department of Justice (DOJ) of threatening criminal charges to pressure the Fed into aligning interest rate policy with former President Donald Trump's demands. In a rare video statement, Powell condemned the action as an unprecedented attack on the central bank’s independence. The investigation, initiated by the Washington DC US Attorney’s office, focuses on allegations that Powell misled Congress regarding a $250 million renovation project at the Fed’s headquarters. The conflict stems from Trump's longstanding criticism of Powell for being too slow to cut interest rates. Since returning to office, Trump has intensified pressure on the Fed to lower rates to stimulate economic growth. Market reactions were immediate, with US stock index futures falling, gold and silver prices rising, and Bitcoin holding near $91,000. Powell reaffirmed the Fed’s commitment to data-driven policy, emphasizing its mandate to ensure price stability and maximize employment, not to yield to political influence. Legal experts suggest the evidence against Powell is weak, but if charges proceed, he could face resignation or even imprisonment. Meanwhile, speculation about his potential replacements includes Kevin Warsh and Kevin Hassett, both seen as favorable to Trump’s economic agenda. The situation has raised concerns about institutional independence and potential constitutional crisis.

US DOJ Bitcoin Sales Spark Concern From US Senator

US Senator Cynthia Lummis expressed deep alarm after the US Department of Justice transferred and likely sold approximately 57.55 BTC (worth around $6.3 million) seized in a criminal case. The action contradicts a 2025 executive order by the President directing the creation of a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and requiring seized bitcoin to be held, not sold. Blockchain data showed the bitcoin was sent to a Coinbase Prime wallet and later liquidated. Lummis, who chairs a Senate subcommittee on digital assets, questioned the move and called for greater policy clarity and transparency. The incident has sparked broader questions about the government’s handling of seized crypto assets.

Did the U.S. Marshals Service Violate Trump's Executive Order by Selling Confiscated Bitcoin?

In a potential violation of Executive Order 14233, the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) appears to have sold 57.5 Bitcoin, valued at $6.36 million, seized from Samourai Wallet developers Keonne Rodriguez and William Lonergan Hill as part of their plea agreement. The Bitcoin was transferred to a Coinbase Prime wallet on November 3, 2025, and the address has since been emptied, indicating a sale. The executive order, signed by President Trump, mandates that Bitcoin obtained through criminal forfeiture must be held in the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and not sold. Legal analysis confirms the seized assets fall under the order's definition of "government bitcoin," and no statute requires such assets to be liquidated. This action by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) continues a pattern of defying federal directives, including a Justice Department memo to end prosecutions against developers of non-custodial crypto tools. The article questions whether the Trump administration is truly ending the "war on crypto," suggesting that pardoning Rodriguez and investigating this sale would affirm its pro-crypto stance.

Bitcoin Seized From Samourai Wallet Creators Allegedly Sold By US Marshall Service

In a controversial move, the US Marshals Service (USMS) has allegedly sold or is in the process of selling approximately 57 Bitcoin (worth $6.3 million at the time) forfeited by Samourai Wallet creators Keonne Rodriguez and William Lonergan Hill. According to an "Asset Liquidation Agreement," the BTC was sent directly to Coinbase Prime for sale on November 3, 2025. This action raises significant legal questions as it appears to violate Executive Order 14233, which mandates that criminally forfeited "Government BTC" must not be sold and should instead be allocated to the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The sale, conducted at the USMS's discretion, could spark further debate on the government's management of seized digital assets. Meanwhile, BTC's price has risen to nearly $94,300.

Notorious Bitcoin Hacker Released Years Early, Credits Trump

Ilya Lichtenstein, the central figure in the 2016 Bitfinex hack involving the theft of 120,000 bitcoin, has been released from federal custody after serving only about 14 months of his five-year sentence. He credited his early release to the First Step Act, a prison-reform law signed by former President Donald Trump in 2018. Lichtenstein, who pleaded guilty to money laundering conspiracy, was placed on home confinement after qualifying for time credits and program participation. The case, which involved billions in stolen crypto assets, saw the recovery of over 90% of the funds by authorities. His release has sparked debate over sentencing fairness in high-value cybercrime cases.

Mt. Gox Hacker Unloads 1,300 Bitcoin As $360 Million Still Remains

Mt. Gox-linked entities associated with Aleksey Bilyuchenko have deposited another 1,300 BTC (worth $114 million) into unknown exchanges over the past week, according to Arkham analyst Emmett Gallic. The wallets still hold approximately 4,100 BTC ($360 million), with a total of 2,300 BTC sold so far. This continues a pattern of gradual selling observed since late 2023. Bilyuchenko faces charges in the U.S. for his alleged role in the 2011 Mt. Gox hack and money laundering conspiracy, carrying potential 20-year sentences. In Russia, he was convicted in a separate case related to the WEX exchange and sentenced to 3.5 years in prison. Uncertainty remains over who currently controls the funds, with some analysts suggesting possible involvement by Russian authorities.
