Strategic Collapse? US Marshals Quietly Sold 170,000 BTC💣
🧨 This might be the most explosive Bitcoin news of the year!
A FOIA document reveals: the US Marshals actually only have less than 30,000 BTC left!
You read that right—everyone thought the US government was hoarding 200,000, but now it turns out 170,000 may have been 'secretly sold'?!
🤯 What on earth is going on?
The document comes from independent journalist L0la L33tz, who obtained a government internal response dated July 16, showing:
🇺🇸 The US Marshals only hold 28,988 BTC
🧾 Estimated value at current prices is about $3.44 billion
🧊 Compared to the previous estimate of '200,000 BTC', it's shrunk by nearly 90%!
The crypto community exploded, 'Is the US quietly dumping on us?'
🔍 But the inside story is far from simple!
After reading this, you'll understand👇
The 'shrinking holdings' might be because the Marshals only control 'seized' assets, while those 'under seizure' have not yet been transferred to their accounts.
The key point—there are no on-chain transfer records, so how did these Bitcoins disappear?
Here comes a major speculation⬇️
💣 Is the legendary 'offline swap' here?
Bitcoin Magazine CEO David Bailey stated:
'The government has been trading offline through custodians, bypassing on-chain traces.'
Offline trading = OTC bulk swaps, leaving no on-chain transfers, only internal reconciliations by the custodial platform.
📉 What about Trump's 'strategic Bitcoin reserve' plan?
Remember a few months ago he signed an executive order transferring all government BTC to the Treasury as 'digital gold' strategic assets?
Now it turns out, the major portion is directly gone...
Senator Lummis directly criticized:
'If there's really only 29,000 left, that's a complete strategic failure!'
📈 So is this a positive or negative for the crypto space?
The answer is—super positive!
'Once it’s confirmed the government has sold off a significant amount, the 'mountain pressing down' on Bitcoin will be gone.'
And could there be a buyback? Big players are saying—
The next step, the US might be looking to stock up! This is the real game-changing turning point!
💬 What do you think, did the US government sell or not? Will this be the starting point for the next Bitcoin bull market?
