U.S. government transfers $470 million in seized cryptocurrency to Coinbase Prime

U.S. government-linked wallets transfer approximately US$470 million in crypto assets to suspected Coinbase Prime addresses

According to blockchain analysis firm Arkham, on Wednesday, a U.S. government-linked wallet transferred approximately US$470 million worth of Bitcoin (BTC), Packaging Bitcoin (WBTC) and TEDA (USDT) to a suspected Coinbase Prime deposit address. Previously, online tracking data showed that government wallets had transferred approximately 833.6 BTC and 40,285 BNBs to Coinbase Prime on Tuesday.

Currently, no U.S. institution has made it clear whether these assets will be sold. In addition, some bitcoins originating from the Bitfinex hacking case may need to be returned to Bitfinex the same way, and the reserve order issued in 2025 also prohibits the sale of bitcoins in strategic bitcoin reserves.

Asset Seizure Dynamics: Bitfinex Hack Case and Alameda Research Fund Trends

Arkham pointed out that the bitcoins transferred this time came from asset seizure operations against Bitfinex hackers and Alameda Research. "The U.S. government has just transferred $470 million worth of BTC, WBTC and USDT to a suspected deposit address of Coinbase Prime," the company said in a statement on the X platform.

Not all bitcoins will be included in the national reserve. In January 2025, U.S. prosecutors filed an application with a federal court to return approximately 94,643 bitcoins seized in the 2016 Bitfinex hacking case to Bitfinex in physical form.

此次转账紧随周二的动作之后。链上追踪平台TimechainIndexs表示,当天政府共向Coinbase Prime转移了833.6枚BTC,价值约7160万美元,其中包括一笔约568.7 BTC的交易。

另一家链上数据平台Lookonchain报告称,周二政府钱包还转移了价值约3160万美元的40,285枚BNB,使得周二总转移金额达到约1.03亿美元。

比特币储备指令限制出售储备BTC

这些比特币是否会被出售,部分取决于2025年3月发布的一项行政命令。该命令设立了由没收的比特币资助的“战略比特币储备”。白宫事实清单明确指出:“美国不会出售存入该战略比特币储备的比特币。”

该命令还创建了单独的“数字资产库存”,用于存放非比特币类被没收资产,例如本周三转移中涉及的稳定币,并允许财政部长考虑从该库存中进行“潜在出售”。Coinbase Prime提供机构级托管及交易服务,但链上数据并未显示资金到达后的具体去向。

截至发稿时,根据CoinMarketCap数据,比特币价格约为83,500美元。
