This measure follows the US government’s earlier involvement in the bitcoin sector. In March 2023, the government auctioned off 9,861 BTC, raising $216 million.
In late 2022, the government confiscated these coins as part of an enormous cache from the infamous Silk Road website, which totaled over 50,000 Bitcoins (BTC).
