I noticed an interesting point in the activity of the US government wallet. Last week in March, about 0.33 BTC was transferred from an address associated with Villegas's confiscation. At the time, the amount was approximately $22,658, but now that same portion would be worth significantly more at the current exchange rate. What’s important is that the address has been fully emptied, but the bitcoins haven’t been sold. It looks like part of a new strategy by the US government—to accumulate seized crypto instead of dumping it immediately. The transfer to cold storage appears to be a long-term move. If government agencies are indeed switching to a BTC accumulation mode, it could have serious consequences for the market in the long term. It will be interesting to see how many more such transfers will happen.
