The US government holds only 28,988 BTC ($3.4b)

Previously, it was assumed that approximately 200,000 BTC ($24b) were stored in the wallets of American authorities.

But independent journalist L0la L33tz claims that only 28,988 BTC are owned by the US Marshals Service.

📍Important details:

▪️ 28,988 BTC is the assets of the Marshals Service only (seized and transferred to the state).

▪️ The amount does not include BTC held by other agencies (Drug Enforcement Administration, FBI, etc.)

▪️ Popular trackers like Arkham show "seized" assets that the government cannot dispose of.

▪️ For example, 94,000 BTC from the Bitfinex hack have still not been completely confiscated.

▪️ Conclusion: The actual amount of BTC that the US government can dispose of is significantly less than what public trackers indicate.
