The American Marshal service (USMS) was absent to the deadline on Friday to provide detailed information about its dealings with Bitcoin, which was seized from the case of the Silk Road to Senator Centum Lomes, a development that suffers from knowledge of the matter It has indicated.
Senator Lomes, in a letter To USMS last month, concerns about the sale of the planned agency raised about 69,370 from Bitcoin, at a value of about $ 7 billion at the current market price. She pointed to possible financial losses for taxpayers and conflicts with the directives of the Trump administration policy.
The Lummis letter to USMS highlighted the previous Bitcoin sales at the agency, noting that the disposal of 195,092 Bitcoin between 2014 and 2023 was created about $ 366 million. These same holdings will be more than $ 18.9 billion at the current market prices, which represents what Lummis called “an amazing loss of 98 % of possible value.”
The letter also indicated that a modern court was presented, as the Ministry of Justice cited the volatility of Bitcoin prices to justify an urgent sale. I found aggression for the ministry Seek to achieve the liquidationDespite the outstanding legal challenges, anxiety, especially during the presidential transition period.
The message called for more transparency in the USMS management of Bitcoin Assets, including the general disclosure of holdings. It also sought the agency accountable for previous losses and ensuring better decisions in the future.
As the message was published, there was a widespread expectation within the encryption community that Trump will issue an executive order (EO) to create a national stock of bitcoin, a major promise of his presidential campaign.
On January 23, the President Eo signed Directing a working group to evaluate the feasibility of creating a national stock of digital assets.
Although the demand does not fulfill the specific promise of the bitcoin reserve, it leaves the possibility that bitcoin be part of the stock if established, which can include bitcoin and other encryption assets that the federal authorities seized.
Usms, which oversees the digital assets seized during the criminal investigations, manages the asset confiscation program of $ 7.6 billion as of September 2024.
While the agency was absent from the deadline, a person familiar with the matter said that Lomes and her employees will disappear in the coming weeks and provide stock of bitcoin.
Senator Lomes was hiring Chairman of the newly formed bank sub -committee on digital assets. This sub -committee is the first of its kind, and is devoted to supervising digital assets within the framework of the Senate Banking Committee, led by Senator Tim Scott now.
The sub -committee aims to pass legislation from the two parties that define a comprehensive legal framework for digital assets. This framework aims to enhance responsible innovation with consumer protection and includes provisions for market structure, nails, and strategic bitcoin reserves.
Lummis has briefly led an attempt to create the American strategic Bitcoin reserves through a proposed legislation called Bitcoin, which will allow the government to obtain a million bitcoin currencies, about 5 % of the total offer.
The bill died as of January 3, 2025, but if it planned to re -submit it in 2025, it can benefit from support from the newly elected encoding management.
