Just saw the U.S. government moved 600 million worth of Silk Road Bitcoin into a major exchange's custody service. Interesting timing honestly. Not clear if they're planning to sell or just consolidating holdings, but when you move 600 million in BTC like that, people definitely notice.



This has happened before with government seizures - they hold for legal reasons, sometimes auction, sometimes just sit on it. The 600 million figure is pretty substantial though, so it's worth watching how this plays out. Could be nothing, could be preparation for something.

Always curious what the government's actual plan is with these old seized coins. If they do decide to move 600 million to market at some point, that's a lot of supply hitting all at once. Worth keeping an eye on.
