U.S. Government-Linked Wallet Moves 2.438 BTC, On-Chain Data Shows
On-chain data indicates a U.S. government-linked address transferred 2.438 BTC roughly two hours ago.
Unconfirmed reports said a U.S. government-linked address moved 2.438 BTC roughly two hours before publication, but the fetched evidence in this brief does not verify that amount. The verified URLs in this brief, mempool.space/tx/a4d54c47fcb966db266c40640d796403ec1b6691ba727f5c862ae34cb171cba0 and cryptobriefing.com/trump-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-2/, instead document a separate March 27, 2025 bitcoin transfer chain that Crypto Briefing linked to Arkham’s labeling of U.S. government-linked Sae-Heng confiscated funds.
What the verifiable chain shows
Mempool transaction a4d54c47fcb966db266c40640d796403ec1b6691ba727f5c862ae34cb171cba0 shows the first confirmed leg at 2025-03-27 17:23:27 UTC, when bc1qeqkuvnmk4cnaptss0xk6lf00jp67cf6mum8qwv spent 97.33595256 BTC. The same explorer entry records outputs of 0.00011516 BTC and 97.33583418 BTC, with a 322 sat fee.
A follow-up mempool entry for transaction e7c87bfa8c17be1f8bb34f3a110f95a161008b79ba85f30f7700be984fa866c3 was confirmed at 2025-03-27 17:58:40 UTC and moved 97.33583148 BTC from bc1q7qf075up5nkd6hejgkmr9ms0fal97w35asrs55, paying a 270 sat fee. Based on that second explorer record, the directly verifiable activity in this brief is a two-step chain rather than a separate transfer independently matching the prompt.
How the wallet was identified
Crypto Briefing reported on March 27, 2025 that Arkham Intelligence identified the movement as U.S. government-linked Sae-Heng confiscated funds. The report said $10 went to bc1qs0qhmlzh2wvs0n70vn7s6jj37zvek2e7t73kfg while the remainder moved to a change wallet, matching the split shown on the first mempool page.
The policy backdrop comes from a White House order published March 7, 2025 establishing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. That order says seized bitcoin should be held in the reserve and required agencies to provide a full accounting of government digital assets within 30 days; AICryptoCore has tracked adjacent policy and infrastructure themes in CZ Warns Countries Can’t Afford to Miss Blockchain or AI and WuBlockchain Weekly: CZ Autobiography Debate, Hong Kong Stablecoin Licenses, Iran Crypto Oil Test.
The brief also cites a Blockchain.News flash item about potential U.S. government bitcoin test transfers, but that page is separate from the March 27 mempool chain and does not verify the amount used in the headline. That is the same evidentiary line AICryptoCore has stressed in asset-structure coverage such as BingX Launches SpaceX Token as First Pre-IPO RWA Token: without a matching explorer trail or official filing, a labeled transfer does not by itself prove distribution or sale.
