The U.S. government transfers approximately US$103 million in cryptocurrency assets to Coinbase Prime

According to blockchain research firm EmberCN, a wallet address related to the U.S. government recently transferred approximately US$103 million worth of cryptocurrency. The transfer included 833.6 bitcoins (worth approximately US$71.56 million) and 40,285 BNB tokens (worth approximately US$31.63 million).

Funds flow: Coinbase and other addresses

The Bitcoin portion of this transfer is sent directly to Coinbase Prime, a hosting and trading platform for institutional customers. After being transferred through multiple addresses, the BNB token finally arrives at the wallet address with the prefix 0xBE7 and the suffix 81E. On-chain analysis confirmed this path.

EmberCN also pointed out that government-controlled addresses still hold digital assets estimated to be worth US$28 billion. Among them, approximately 324,000 bitcoins accounted for the vast majority of positions, with a value of approximately US$27.7 billion.

Interpretation: Is it for sale or custody?

Coinbase Prime作为本次比特币交易的接收方,是美国法警署(US Marshals Service)指定的处理联邦案件中扣押数字资产的授权平台。该平台于2024年7月被美国法警署选中,提供托管和交易双重解决方案。将资金转入Coinbase Prime既可实现安全存储,也保留了执行出售操作的选项。

然而,区块链数据并未显示已发生的比特币即时出售行为。回顾2024年7月,类似的一笔价值2.97亿美元的政府关联转账同样进入Coinbase Prime,但随后并未确认任何出售操作。

值得注意的是,2025年3月,唐纳德·特朗普总统签署行政命令,建立了“战略比特币储备”。根据现行规则,该储备中的完全没收比特币必须持有且不得出售。不过,这一措施并不适用于联邦钱包中的所有资产,部分加密货币仍需依据法院判决处理,或用于受害者赔偿。

此外,该命令还创建了“美国数字资产堆栈”(US Digital Asset Stockpile),允许BNB等其他加密货币进行独立管理,并授予财政部部长在现有法律框架内监督这些资产的自由裁量权。

政府交易对市场的影响

Historically, governments 'actions to shift cryptocurrency holdings to exchanges have raised concerns about potential sell-offs and their impact on the overall market. For example, in June 2024, after a transfer worth approximately US$240 million (3,940 BTC), the price of Bitcoin fell by 2%; in August 2024, another transfer worth approximately US$594 million (10,000 BTC) also occurred at the same time as the 3.6% decline in Bitcoin price, although the market decline began before the funds reached the exchange.

Date Amount (BTC) Value Price Changes June 2024 3,940 US$240 million -2% August 2024 10,000 US$594 million -3.6% July 2024 Approximately US$2 billion (BTC) US$2 billion -1% March 2023 9,861 US$216 million Sales confirmed

Judicial documents confirm that in March 2023, 9,861 bitcoins previously seized from Operation Silk Road were sold for approximately US$216 million. In other cases, such as the wallet movement incident involving FTX and Alameda in June 2024, some of the seized assets were transferred to Coinbase Prime to help compensate FTX creditors, Arkham Intelligence reports.

As of now, no federal agency has issued an official statement on the sale of the latest batch of 833.6 BTC transfers. Further blockchain evidence or announcements are needed to confirm whether these assets have been sold. Transferring funds to Coinbase Prime does not automatically mean a sale, as the platform serves both custody and transaction needs for seized assets.
