US Government Bitcoin Holdings Decline
The US government's Bitcoin holdings have decreased by approximately 1,635 BTC in 2026, leaving an estimated 328,372 BTC as of early October. The decline is consistent with custody consolidation rather than sales, as no coins were bought. The government's Bitcoin position comes from law enforcement seizures and forfeitures, with the largest portion from the 2016 Bitfinex hack and Silk Road recoveries. Executive Order 14233 prohibits sales of seized assets, leading to the decline despite the order's implementation.
