Court filings and on-chain analysis are painting an interesting picture right now. According to available records and blockchain data, it looks like US law enforcement may have liquidated Bitcoin that was forfeited during the Samourai Wallet enforcement action. Here's the kicker—this potentially creates friction with President Trump's recently announced Strategic Bitcoin Reserve order.

The timing raises some eyebrows. If authorities indeed sold off seized Bitcoin holdings while the administration is pushing for accumulating and holding BTC as a strategic asset, you're looking at two different government branches or agencies working at cross-purposes. One's dumping, the other's supposed to be buying and holding.

The Samourai case involved developer forfeitures, and the liquidation—if confirmed—suggests law enforcement processed assets through traditional channels rather than preserving them for potential reserve purposes. It's unclear if this happened before or after the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve directive gained traction, but the optics aren't great either way.

This kind of disconnect between regulatory enforcement and emerging policy isn't exactly rare in crypto, but it does highlight how fragmented Bitcoin policy implementation still is across different agencies.
