Understanding the Situation Beyond the Headlines
In early January 2026, the crypto market once again found itself reacting to a familiar but powerful narrative: reports suggesting that the U.S. Department of Justice may have sold Bitcoin seized through criminal investigations. The discussion gained traction after blockchain data indicated that approximately 57.55 BTC, valued at around $6.3 million, had been transferred from a government-linked wallet to a Coinbase Prime address in November 2025. Shortly after this transfer, the w

#JusticeDepartmentSellsBitcoin Strategic Reserve vs. Legacy Liquidation: A Defining Test for U.S. Bitcoin Policy
The recent Bitcoin sale by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) through Coinbase Prime has moved far beyond a routine asset liquidation. In early 2026, this action sits at the intersection of law enforcement practice, executive policy, and long-term monetary strategy, turning what would normally be a minor market event into a symbolic stress test for the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR).
Historically, government Bitcoin sales were treated as neutral — seized assets converted int

The U.S. Justice Department’s move to sell seized Bitcoin has once again put the spotlight on how governments interact with crypto markets. Every time large BTC holdings linked to legal cases hit the market, traders start watching liquidity, timing, and sentiment very closely.
Historically, these sales haven’t changed Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory—but they do create short-term noise. Smart money usually looks past the headline and focuses on fundamentals: adoption, ETF flows, on-chain data, and macro signals. For the market, transparency and orderly sales matter
