*What moved:*
- *833.6 BTC (∼$71.56M) → Coinbase Prime*
- *40,285 BNB (∼$31.63M) → after multiple hops now at 0xBE7...81E*
- *Total ∼$103M — from US government-labeled address*
*Context:*
- Gov still holds ∼$28B crypto per Arkham — ∼324,000 BTC ∼$27.7B (some trackers say 328,361 BTC ∼$24.6B) — this transfer is 0.25% of stack
- Coinbase Prime ≠ auto sale — gov uses it for custody management / consolidation / restitution prep too — last Jan Treasury Sec Scott Bessent said policy is to stop selling seized BTC, add to Strategic Bitcoin Reserve per EO 14233 Mar 2025 — but every Prime move still sparks sell-off fear because coins become sale-ready
- Previous pattern: July 13 ∼$288M (Ryan Farace + BTC-e + Krewson cases), Jul ∼$183M, Nov 2025 57 BTC, etc — many were just admin moves
So $71.6M BTC landed in Prime, BNB went to intermediate wallet — not confirmed sold on-chain yet. Watch Arkham for Prime outflow to spot desk.
