The U.S. government moved 12,267 BTC, worth about $1.01 billion, from a wallet holding coins stolen in the 2016 Bitfinex hack to new, unlabeled addresses. Arkham data shows no deposits to exchanges, so it is unclear if the coins will be sold or held. This transfer follows a previous move of seized crypto to Coinbase Prime, which also does not confirm a sale. A 2025 executive order restricts selling government-held bitcoin except in specific cases like court orders or victim restitution, and no official statement has been made about this recent transfer.
