According to CryptoPotato, over the past decade or so, governments around the world have begun to seize cryptocurrencies on a large scale. The U.S. government ranks first with nearly $15.27 billion in cryptocurrency holdings, including 212.847k BTC and 45.654k ETH. Among them, the most well-known case is the seizure of 144,336 BTC from Silk Road by the U.S. government in 2013. Silk Road is an online black market with Bitcoin as the trading currency, mainly used to sell drugs and other illegal goods. The UK government holds cryptocurrencies worth about $4.34 billion, and the German government holds cryptocurrencies worth about $3.53 billion. It is worth noting that the Salvadoran government is also actively involved, holding 5.718k BTC worth about $405 million, mainly acquired through active purchases. The crypto assets in these countries are mainly derived from seizures, for reasons including criminal investigations, suspected tax evasion, violations of anti-money laundering and know your customer (KYC) requirements, etc.
