Recently, the U.S. government has adopted an innovative approach to dealing with national debt issues. By cracking down on major fraud rings, law enforcement successfully seized a large amount of Bitcoin. Each time a major criminal is apprehended, an average of about 150,000 Bitcoins can be seized. At current market prices, this amounts to approximately $15 billion, accounting for 0.05% of the total U.S. national debt.



This practice has sparked a new fiscal supplementation mechanism. The government may choose to sell these seized Bitcoins on the market to generate cash revenue. However, this process could create an interesting cycle: after a period of time, these Bitcoins are likely to flow back into illegal activities, such as gray industries or money laundering and other criminal activities.

This phenomenon actually provides the government with a "recyclable" financial resource. Every time criminal activities are cracked down on, it not only maintains legal order but also brings considerable revenue to the national treasury. However, this practice has also sparked discussions about cryptocurrency regulation and law enforcement effectiveness.

Although this approach may bring certain fiscal revenues to the government in the short term, in the long run, it also highlights the necessity of strengthening regulation of the cryptocurrency market. The government needs to find a balance between combating crime and maintaining stability in the financial markets to ensure that this emerging fiscal supplement mechanism does not have negative effects.

The financial model is interesting, but unfortunately the liquidity data is too far-fetched.
