Abstract generation in progress

The U.S. government is currently holding approximately 326,000 Bitcoin, worth about 36 billion USD. This asset was primarily seized from criminal cases and activities on the “dark web,” including the Silk Road case and numerous cyberattacks. Instead of selling immediately, the government securely stores this amount of Bitcoin under the management of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The massive holding scale makes the US one of the largest organizations owning Bitcoin in the world. Although sometimes a small portion is sold, the majority remains intact, serving as a source of legal and financial reserves. The increasing value of Bitcoin also indicates the growing influence of digital assets on global finance and US policy.
