🚨Anchorage Digital CEO Denies DHS Probe Allegations — Calls Reports “Complete Bullshit” at Consensus 2025
At Consensus 2025 in Toronto, Anchorage Digital CEO Nathan McCauley directly addressed rumors of a U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) investigation. In a sharp statement, McCauley called the reports “complete bullshit,” asserting that no federal investigation is underway.
“There is no investigation into us, as is unambiguously clear at this point,” McCauley declared, aiming to end speculation fueled by social media and unverified reports. The rumors alleged Anchorage Digital, a federally chartered crypto bank, was under scrutiny for compliance violations tied to its crypto custody services.
McCauley emphasized that Anchorage operates under full compliance with U.S. regulations, holding a federally approved trust charter. He stressed that the company undergoes regular audits and maintains strong regulatory relationships. According to him, such rumors are false and damaging to the credibility of regulated crypto institutions bridging traditional finance and digital assets.
Anchorage remains a cornerstone of institutional crypto custody, providing secure infrastructure for major financial firms. With U.S. crypto regulations still evolving, high-profile rumors like these can trigger unnecessary market anxiety and harm confidence in institutional crypto adoption.
The strong denial aims to reassure clients and partners that Anchorage remains in good standing. Yet, the incident highlights the crypto industry’s ongoing struggle against misinformation and regulatory uncertainty.
Is this just another case of market FUD, or a sign that even the most compliant crypto institutions remain vulnerable to reputational attacks?#AMAGE
