{"content":"The U.S. government moved approximately $23,000 worth of bitcoin from a wallet labeled on-chain as containing funds seized from Miguel Villanueva, according to blockchain data flagged on Tuesday. Three separate transactions totaling about 0.3346 BTC were sent to different addresses, and the original wallet appears to have been fully drained afterward. Public blockchain trackers link the address to a forfeiture case, though no detailed public court records were immediately found. The transfers come as federal officials reiterate that seized bitcoin is being retained under President Donald Trump’s strategic bitcoin reserve policy. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent previously stated that the administration plans to stop selling confiscated bitcoin and instead add forfeited assets to the government’s digital asset reserve. The U.S. government currently holds around 328,000 BTC—worth over $22 billion at current prices—making it one of the largest known bitcoin holders in the world.","images":["https://images.bitbabaex.com/uploadfile/article/blog/2026032026/03/04/9ebed70b66df48e8a4665a5d48aa639a.jpg"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":["BTC/USDT"],"quotearticleid":0}
