DID THE US GOVERNMENT JUST SELL 170,000 BTC (20 BILLION)? No. This Freedom of Information Request response from the US Marshals Service (USMS) cites them as holding 28,988 BTC (3.4B), but other departments of the US Government also seize and hold Bitcoin, including the FBI, DOJ, DEA, and US Attorney’s Offices. The US Government currently holds at least 198,000 BTC (23.5B) across multiple addresses held by different government arms - none of this has moved for 4 months.(Arkham)
