this happened a week ago, and first i'm hearing ......

The U.S. government added millions of dollars’ worth of Bitcoin to its Strategic Reserve, then blockchain data showed the wallet was emptied.

The transfer involved $6.3 million in seized Bitcoin from the Samourai Wallet case. Under U.S. rules, those coins are supposed to stay on the government’s balance sheet. What happened next is why the move is drawing attention far beyond the crypto world.
