According to @EleanorTerrett, Frank Corva stated on X that the SDNY/DOJ sold bitcoin (BTC) forfeited by Samourai Wallet developers as part of their plea deal, rather than holding it, as he claims Executive Order 14233 directs forfeited bitcoin to be kept in the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (source: @EleanorTerrett on X, Jan 5, 2026; source: @frankcorva on X, Jan 5, 2026). Corva further alleges this was not the first instance of SDNY acting contrary to federal guidance in the Samourai case (source: @frankcorva on X, Jan 5, 2026). Neither post provides an accompanying public confirmation or notice from DOJ/SDNY regarding the alleged BTC sale (source: @EleanorTerrett on X, Jan 5, 2026; source: @frankcorva on X, Jan 5, 2026). For traders, the allegation signals potential government-related BTC disposition tied to the Samourai matter; monitoring official DOJ and SDNY communications for confirmation and any asset-disposition details is critical for assessing possible supply flows and headline risk (source: @EleanorTerrett on X, Jan 5, 2026; source: @frankcorva on X, Jan 5, 2026; source: DOJ and SDNY official channels).

According to the source, the U.S. allegedly created a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and ended automatic liquidation of seized BTC. The post provides no accompanying official documentation from the U.S. Treasury or the Department of Justice, where such policy changes are typically announced, source: U.S. Treasury newsroom, U.S. Department of Justice newsroom. Historically, seized BTC have been disposed of by the U.S. Marshals Service via auctions and broker-assisted sales under DOJ asset forfeiture procedures, source: U.S. Marshals Service public auction records, DOJ Asset Forfeiture Policy Manual. For trading, until a verifiable policy document or press release is issued, treat government-related BTC transfers as potential supply events and monitor Treasury or DOJ announcements and known DOJ or USMS wallets for movement, source: U.S. Treasury and DOJ press rooms, on-chain analytics providers.
