BREAKING NEWS: The US Government Allegedly Holds Far Fewer Bitcoins Than Estimated – Big if True

The US Marshals Service (USMS), affiliated with the US Department of Justice, announced in its official response dated July 15, 2025, that the state currently has only 28,988 Bitcoins left.

This figure represents a significant decrease from the previously publicly estimated figure of approximately 200,000 BTC, which at current prices is worth approximately $3.44 billion.

Documents shared in response to a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request on March 24, 2025, contain a detailed breakdown of the government’s Bitcoin holdings. The USMS stated that the information in these documents was compiled by the Asset Forfeiture Division (AFD). The agency also emphasized that some pages in the memorandum were partially censored and shared.

Because the USMS regularly sells its digital assets through public auctions, this list is assumed to be current and accurate unless an official sale is announced.

The US government’s Bitcoin reserves have swelled over the years due to seizures following major lawsuits like the Silk Road operation. However, according to recent data, the majority of these assets have allegedly been liquidated.
