Wallets linked to the U.S. government transferred more than $100 million worth of cryptocurrency on Tuesday, including Bitcoin and BNB tied to previous enforcement seizures, according to blockchain intelligence platform Arkham.
The largest transaction involved 833.599 Bitcoin (BTC), valued at approximately $71.6 million at the time of transfer. The assets were initially sent to two addresses not identified by Arkham before being forwarded within hours to addresses labeled as Coinbase Prime deposit wallets.
The Bitcoin originated from two government-controlled sources. About 568.7 BTC came from a wallet associated with forfeited assets linked to Potapenko and Turogin, while another 264.9 BTC was connected to cryptocurrency seized in the Bitfinex hack case.
In a separate transaction, a U.S. government-labeled wallet transferred roughly 40,285 BNB, valued at $31.63 million, to an unlabeled blockchain address. The entire amount was subsequently moved to another unidentified address.
Arkham data indicates that the BNB originated from assets seized from Alameda Research, the trading firm closely associated with collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX.
Despite the large transfers, the U.S. government continues to control approximately $27.5 billion worth of cryptocurrency, with its holdings originating from assets seized or forfeited through enforcement actions. The government has not used taxpayer funds to purchase additional cryptocurrency.
Large government crypto transfers frequently fuel speculation that authorities are preparing to liquidate seized assets, particularly when Bitcoin is moved to exchange-linked wallets. However, the latest transactions do not necessarily indicate that a sale has occurred.
Market commentator Jose Rosell emphasized on X that moving cryptocurrency does not automatically mean the assets have been sold. He pointed to a March 2025 executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, under which Bitcoin forfeited to the federal government is intended to be retained.
The latest activity is therefore likely to draw scrutiny from crypto traders watching U.S. government Bitcoin holdings and potential changes in federal digital asset policy.
