The US government's decision to sell seized Bitcoin over the past decade instead of holding onto it has cost taxpayers approximately $17 billion in potential gains, according to David Sacks, who is responsible for AI and crypto matters in the Trump administration. The US Marshals Service, which manages seized assets including Bitcoin, is facing difficulties in keeping track of its crypto holdings. Senator Lummis has criticized the agency's history of selling seized Bitcoin at prices below market value and has called for the establishment of a national Bitcoin reserve. The US government currently holds 198,109 Bitcoin, valued at $17.5 billion.
