The U.S. government is one of the world's largest holders of Bitcoin, but unlike other crypto giants, it doesn't care whether the digital currency rises or falls in value. This is because approximately 200,000 Bitcoins held by the U.S. government were seized from cybercriminals and dark web markets. The bitcoins are primarily stored in encrypted, password-protected hardware wallets controlled by the Department of Justice, the Internal Revenue Service or other agencies and are not traded online.
The U.S. has been painfully slow to convert Bitcoin to U.S. dollars. It is not holding on to Bitcoin for a long time and does not want to sell it. Crypto circles call this behavior "holding on to Bitcoin and not letting go", but it does not intend to sell. Nor is it waiting for Bitcoin to appreciate in order to sell its holdings at a high price. That large amount of Bitcoin is more the byproduct of a lengthy legal process than a strategic plan. "We do not engage in market transactions," said Jarod Koopman, executive director of the IRS' Cyber and Forensic Services Division. "Our actions are essentially driven by the timing of the legal proceedings."
According to an analysis of public documents by encryption company 21.co, more than 200,000 bitcoins have been seized in the last three times alone and have entered government coffers. Even though the government has sold about 20,000 Bitcoins, its holdings are still worth more than $5 billion. The legal process can take years from the time illegal bitcoins are seized to receiving a final order to liquidate the coins. In some cases, this benefits governments as the value of cryptocurrencies increases significantly.
