BTC The U.S. Treasury Department plans to freeze approximately US$1 billion in Iran-related cryptocurrency assets
Under the framework of U.S. President Donald Trump's economic sanctions, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently disclosed a confiscation plan for approximately US$1 billion in Iran-related cryptocurrency assets. Previously, U.S. authorities had carried out multiple enforcement actions, not only seizing hundreds of millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency, but also freezing USDT positions associated with sanctioned Iranian wallet addresses.
Besent revealed the plan in an interview with Greta Van Susteren at the Newsmax NPolicy Summit in Washington. He said that the United States has locked in these cryptocurrency positions and expects to complete asset confiscation within this week. Basent explained that the action was part of Washington's broad strategy to limit Iran's access to financial resources.
"Absolute isolation" strategy replaces "extreme pressure"
Besent described the government's current strategy as an "absolute isolation campaign" to replace the previous "extreme pressure" strategy implemented on Tehran. The strategy includes measures to restrict international flights, blockade the Strait of Hormuz and affect land routes among Iran's neighbors. These restrictions are accompanied by financial enforcement actions against cryptocurrency networks associated with entities and sanctioned organizations that U.S. authorities believe are Iranian.
Review of 2026 Encryption Enforcement Actions
throughout 2026年，华盛顿方面针对伊朗实施了多项加密货币执法行动，包括钱包扣押、资产冻结和交易所制裁。今年5月，贝森特曾报告称，美国当局没收了大约10亿美元与伊朗金融活动相关的加密货币。随后，财政部的一份公告提及了此前近5亿美元的扣押记录，这导致被没收资产的总价值存在不确定性。此外，7月的执法措施导致与受制裁伊朗钱包关联的约1.3亿美元加密货币持仓被冻结。
区块链分析师Specter将这些限制措施与四个包含约1.31亿美元USDT的Tron地址联系起来，这些地址已被Tether列入黑名单。
美国扩大对伊朗加密货币交易所的金融制裁
财政部官员还扩大了对涉嫌协助进行涉及伊朗组织的交易的加密货币交易所的制裁。今年9月，当局以涉嫌向伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队转移大量比特币为由， targeting BitBank。调查人员指控该交易所在6月至7月期间协助进行了数亿美元的比特币转账。此前的执法行动还针对了Nobitex、Wallex、Bitpin和Ramzinex（6月），以及Shelbit和Aban Tether（8月）。
目前，贝森特尚未澄清拟议的10亿美元没收是否代表额外的加密货币资产，还是包含在先前宣布的执法数据中的资产。财政部尚未公开确认涉案钱包信息或提供具体的没收日期。
