Battle Born claims that the nearly 70,000 BTC seized by the US government is theirs. They say the bought it from somebody that stole it
The United States Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal from Battle Born Investments regarding the forfeiture of 69,370 bitcoins. Initially linked to the Silk Road darknet marketplace, these bitcoins are now under the US government's control.
Schiff argued that if Trump intended to use the seized BTC to start a U.S. 'strategic' reserve, he would have kept it a secret. 'Now that the Biden administration is wise to his plan, they'll sell every satoshi before Trump takes office'
Data shows the US government currently possesses around 214,000 Bitcoin worth over $13 billion
