#U.S. government's $6.5 billion Bitcoin sale process is rigorous#
Hot Topic Overview
Overview
The sale process for the $6.5 billion in Bitcoin held by the U.S. government will be very strict, requiring court approval, a civil forfeiture application hearing, and a series of other procedures, followed by the U.S. Marshal service process to enter the public domain. Asset Reality's Aidan Larkin said this doesn't mean the U.S. will sell immediately, as the sale process is lengthy and will take time. Moreover, it's unlikely that these Bitcoins will be channeled into a potential Bitcoin strategic reserve.

Analysis
The U.S. government's process for selling $6.5 billion worth of seized Bitcoin will be strict and not immediate. Aidan Larkin, from Asset Reality, a U.S. company that helps the government manage seized assets, said that the court's approval is simply a normal part of the civil forfeiture process and does not mean that the U.S. will sell immediately. The sale will require a rigorous process that includes a civil forfeiture hearing, gaining approval, and then moving through the Marshal's process and into the public domain. Additionally, it is unlikely that these Bitcoins will be transferred into a potential Bitcoin strategic reserve.
