U.S. Government Moves Millions in Crypto, Establishes Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Amid Market Influences
  • Between June 2023 and December 2024, the U.S. government sold an estimated $2.24 billion worth of Bitcoin associated with hacker James Zhong.

  • Notably, in March 2023, the government sold $215.5 million of Bitcoin seized from Zhong, marking its last significant sale.

  • Looking ahead, Bloomberg predicts a 30% chance that the U.S. government will buy Bitcoin in 2025.

  • Currently, the price of Bitcoin is reported at $87,326, according to CoinGecko data.

  • Among these transactions, the government moved $1.77 million worth of Ethereum to a new address.

  • This strategic reserve aims to regulate and stabilize the crypto market effectively, indicating the government's intent to manage and potentially sell these assets in the future.

  • Additionally, it was reported that the government moved $8 million worth of Bitcoin, primarily to a change wallet, according to Arkham Intelligence.

  • The U.S. government has recently transferred significant amounts of cryptocurrency, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, raising concerns about its management of confiscated assets.

  • In a related cultural moment, a viral fake video of former President Donald Trump has emerged, misleadingly showing him unveiling Bitcoin's whitepaper, which has further stirred public interest in the intersection of cryptocurrency and U.S. politics.

  • To better manage its digital assets, the U.S. government has established a strategic reserve specifically for Bitcoin and a separate stockpile for altcoins.

  • Earlier in March 2025, a government-associated address also moved Avalanche (AVAX) tokens, indicating ongoing activity in the crypto space.
