Overview

The U.S. government currently holds $6.5 billion worth of Bitcoin, but its sale process will be very strict and will not be immediate. According to professionals, the sale of these Bitcoins will require a series of procedures, including court approval, civil forfeiture application hearings, and ultimately, entering the public domain through the U.S. Marshals Service. Additionally, the possibility of these Bitcoins being included in the U.S. government's potential Bitcoin strategic reserve is low.

Analysis

The U.S. government currently holds $6.5 billion worth of Bitcoin, but its sale process will be very strict and will not happen immediately. According to Aidan Larkin of Asset Reality, a U.S. company that helps the government manage seized assets, court approval is just a normal procedure for civil forfeiture and does not mean the U.S. government will sell these Bitcoins immediately. The sale must follow a strict process, including a civil forfeiture application hearing, and only after approval can it enter the marshal's procedure and be publicly sold. In addition, the possibility of these Bitcoins being transferred to a potential Bitcoin strategic reserve is not high, so don't get your hopes up too much.
