Techub News reports that, according to Bitcoin Magazine, the U.S. Department of Justice on November 3, 2025, instructed the U.S. Marshals Service to sell 57.55 bitcoins, paid as part of a guilty plea agreement by the Samourai Wallet developer through Coinbase Prime. The bitcoins are valued at approximately $6,367,000, and the current balance of the related address shows 0, indicating the assets may have been liquidated. This action conflicts with Executive Order 14233 signed by Trump on March 6, 2025, which established a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" and mandated that seized bitcoins be included in the reserve and not sold.
