Reports suggest U.S. prosecutors may have overstepped by liquidating approximately $6.3 million worth of confiscated Bitcoin. The move appears inconsistent with Executive Order 14233, which explicitly restricts the sale of federally held Bitcoin assets as part of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve initiative.

This discrepancy raises questions about policy execution at the enforcement level. If confirmed, it could signal inconsistency between executive directives and operational practices across different government agencies. For the crypto community, such developments underscore the importance of tracking how policy intentions translate into actual implementation—especially regarding large-scale asset holdings.

Back at it with this again? The government is shouting about strategic reserves while secretly selling coins—truly incredible. --- $6.3 million just gone like that; an executive order is essentially useless. --- Wait, is this intentional or did the execution team simply not communicate well? Feels like the left hand is fighting the right hand. --- Haha, this is government efficiency—shouting slogans loudly while doing everything backwards. --- So the question is, did no one listen to the orders above, or are they deliberately pretending not to see? --- This round is indeed outrageous; the money from strategic reserves has been diverted for other uses. What’s left then? --- Another "legal" way to line their pockets lol --- Stay tuned, see how they pass the buck later. --- $6.3 million may not be a lot or a little, but the issues exposed here are significant. --- Inter-agency cooperation within the government is just routine now.

Here we go again? The government builds strategic reserves with one hand and secretly sells with the other. I've seen this script before.

Coming again? The government loosens up and sells coins, then on the other hand, they say they want to build strategic reserves... It's really awkward.

Here we go again? Government agencies don't even know what each other is doing... Just dumping 63 million BTC like that, where's the executive order?

Selling a Bitcoin can even be illegal now. What's going on with these government departments, not knowing what they're doing with their left and right hands?
