Seizure of cryptocurrencies in the United States
The U.S. Department of Justice is carrying out extensive seizures of digital assets associated with illegal activities. For example, in June 2025, the department announced the seizure of over $225 million in cryptocurrency linked to investment fraud and money laundering. Blockchain analysis techniques were used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Secret Service to identify these assets. (FXStreet)
Additionally, in July 2025, the United States filed a civil complaint demanding the seizure of 20.2 Bitcoins (equivalent to about $2.4 million) that were seized from the "Kaus" group linked to digital ransom attacks. If successfully seized, these Bitcoins may be added to the U.S. "strategic Bitcoin reserve," which was created through an executive order by President Trump. (Cointelegraph)
