Lummis criticizes U.S. sale of 57.5 BTC after Executive Order 14233
U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis criticized federal authorities for selling about 57.5 BTC, valued near $6.3 million, that had been forfeited by Samourai Wallet's founders. She argued the move runs counter to Executive Order 14233, which directs seized Bitcoin to a Strategic Reserve. The episode has raised questions about interagency coordination and whether policy is being implemented as intended.
