U.S. government sells Anthropic stakes held by FTX insiders, stays silent on proceeds
The U.S. government sold Anthropic stakes seized from Caroline Ellison and Nishad Singh, figures tied to the FTX collapse, to existing investors, but did not disclose the sale timing, buyers or price. It has not been decided whether the proceeds will go to compensate FTX victims or be retained by the government. Anthropic’s surging valuation has heightened interest in the sale, while lawyers and victims cite uncertainty over how much could reach victims.

Market estimates range widely, reflecting uncertainty over which coins have cleared final forfeiture and belong to the Treasury without legal obligations such as victim compensation. High-profile cases, including Bitfinex-related recoveries and a major civil forfeiture suit, have added to confusion.

U.S. government transfers bitcoin, ether to Coinbase, putting strategic reserve rules to the test
The U.S. government transferred about $288 million worth of bitcoin and ether classified as government-held to Coinbase Prime, drawing attention to whether the move relates to the strategic bitcoin reserve. Onchain data showed 3,941 bitcoin and 30,007 ether were sent over about eight hours. Analysts said the transfer alone does not prove a sale, and publicly available data cannot confirm whether the bitcoin was part of the strategic reserve.
