BiyaPay Analyst: US Marshals to Sell 170,000 BTC, US Government Plans to HODL Long-Term

BlockBeats News, July 17th. A U.S. Marshals Service document obtained through the Freedom of Information Act revealed that as of June 2025, the agency only held 28,988 bitcoins, far from the previously speculated over 200,000 bitcoins. This discrepancy has sparked widespread speculation — has the U.S. government quietly sold off most of its bitcoins? Some analysts believe the U.S. may have discreetly offloaded through off-chain swaps to evade on-chain tracking. A user even once pumped the price of an Amazon token on a platform by 100x, further exposing the risk of "wash trading" in the current crypto asset space.

On the other hand, U.S. President Trump signed an executive order in March this year to establish a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" (SBR) to be overseen by the Treasury Department, potentially engaging in large-scale repurchasing and replenishment. Senator Cynthia Lummis bluntly stated, "If the U.S. has indeed sold 80% of its holdings, it would be a serious strategic mistake."
