According to the news, according to documents obtained by independent journalists through the Freedom of Information Act, the amount of bitcoin held by the U.S. Marshals is much smaller than previously thought.

The Department of Justice revealed in its response that as of March, the agency held only 28,988 Bitcoins, valued at approximately 3.4 billion dollars at current prices. This figure shows significant discrepancies compared to other market data sources:

· A certain data platform estimates that the various departments of the U.S. government hold crypto assets worth nearly 25 billion dollars. · A data platform shows that the U.S. government should hold 198,012 BTC (about $25 billion)

Senator Cynthia Lummis, a leading proponent of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, said: "It is shocking that the United States has reportedly sold off more than 80% of its Bitcoin reserves, leaving only about 29,000 coins, which, if true, would be a major strategic mistake and set the United States back several years from the competition in the Bitcoin space.

Do you remember when we were initially fooled into thinking there was so much of it?
