🇺🇸 US Seeks $2.4M in Seized Bitcoin from Chaos Ransomware Group 🔐

The FBI has confiscated 20.2 BTC ($2.4M) tied to the Chaos ransomware gang, now targeted for forfeiture in a new civil case.

⚖️ If approved, the BTC could boost the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, created under Trump’s March order to build US crypto holdings from seizures.

🧊 US agencies are believed to control 198K BTC, though FOIA requests show conflicting numbers — with only ~29K BTC confirmed by the US Marshals Service.

🏛️ Meanwhile, 30+ states are exploring laws to hold Bitcoin reserves — only Texas, Arizona, and New Hampshire have succeeded so far.
