Court filings and on-chain analysis suggest US authorities may have disposed of Bitcoin seized from Samourai Wallet developers—raising questions about alignment with the administration's Strategic Bitcoin Reserve initiative.

The timing and handling of these confiscated assets could conflict with stated policy goals around government crypto holdings. Blockchain data provides public transparency here, and the discrepancy between enforcement actions and strategic directives is worth monitoring.

This pattern highlights the ongoing tension between law enforcement liquidations and longer-term asset preservation strategies at the federal level. Developers, exchanges, and crypto stakeholders are watching closely to see if policy implementation catches up with official announcements.

It's the same old story, saying you want to hoard BTC, then turning around and selling it off. LOL

The government is grabbing coins with one hand and selling coins with the other, this move is really incredible... Where is the promised strategic reserve?

Speaking of which, the US government's move is really impressive... They claim to want to build a strategic Bitcoin reserve, but then immediately liquidate the seized BTC? Isn't this just a case of one hand washing the other?

It's the law enforcement agencies and strategic reserves fighting again... Saying they want to hoard BTC on one hand while secretly selling off on the other—talk about a face slap.

Hmm... this is like hitting oneself with the left hand, saying to hoard Bitcoin on one side and selling off on the other, hilarious.

Is it the same old story? Law enforcement agencies confiscate and sell off while shouting about strategic reserves... It cracks me up.

Hmm... The US government's move is a bit outrageous. On one hand, they say they want to hoard Bitcoin, and on the other hand, they secretly sell off confiscated coins? Playing both sides...

Speaking of which, the US government's move is really clever. On one hand, they claim to be accumulating Bitcoin to build strategic reserves, while secretly clearing out the confiscated BTC... Isn't that just doing one thing with the left hand and another with the right?
