美國司法部批准清算從 Silk Road 扣押的 6.5B 美元比特幣

這項決定標誌著一場有爭議的法律鬥爭的高潮，並引發了人們對加密貨幣市場影響的質疑。

The U.S. Justice Department has received federal approval to sell the remaining Bitcoin (BTC) that was seized from the now-defunct darknet marketplace Silk Road. This decision comes after a lengthy legal battle over the ownership of the cryptocurrency.

美國司法部已獲得聯邦批准，可以出售從現已不復存在的暗網市場 Silk Road 中查獲的剩餘比特幣 (BTC)。這項決定是在圍繞加密貨幣所有權進行了漫長的法律鬥爭之後做出的。

According to a report by DB News on December 30, a federal judge ruled that the DOJ can proceed with liquidating the seized BTC, putting an end to a protracted dispute. The legal battle centered around Battle Born Investments, which asserted ownership of the Bitcoin through a bankruptcy estate connected to an individual accused of misappropriating Silk Road funds and claimed to have lawful rights to it.

據 DB News 12 月 30 日報道，一名聯邦法官裁定，司法部可以著手清算被扣押的 BTC，從而結束曠日持久的糾紛。這場法律戰以 Battle Born Investments 為中心，該公司透過與被指控挪用絲綢之路資金的個人有關的破產財產聲稱擁有比特幣的所有權，並聲稱擁有​​該比特幣的合法權利。

The company pursued its claim through multiple levels of the judicial system, including the U.S. Supreme Court, but its bid to claim the Bitcoin was ultimately dismissed by the courts. Battle Born’s attorney went on to criticize the DOJ’s handling of the matter, alleging procedural misconduct.

該公司透過包括美國最高法院在內的多個司法系統提出索賠，但其對比特幣的索賠最終被法院駁回。巴特爾·伯恩的律師隨後批評司法部處理此事的方式，指控其程序不當。

This development comes as the new administration prepares to take office. President-elect Donald Trump has previously spoken about establishing a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve,” which would be akin to the Strategic Petroleum Reserve that is used to manage confiscated digital assets and help mitigate economic risks.

這一事態發展正值新政府準備就職之際。當選總統唐納德·川普此前曾談到建立“戰略比特幣儲備”，這類似於戰略石油儲備，用於管理沒收的數位資產並幫助減輕經濟風險。

While this policy direction signals a shift in how seized cryptocurrencies might be handled in the future, it remains uncertain whether the current Bitcoin stash will be included in such a reserve or if the administration will follow through on the proposal.

雖然這一政策方向標誌著未來如何處理扣押的加密貨幣的方式發生了轉變，但目前仍不確定當前的比特幣儲備是否將被納入此類儲備中，或者政府是否會貫徹該提議。

The decision to liquidate such a significant volume of Bitcoin has also raised concerns about its potential effect on market prices. Historically, large sales of seized Bitcoin by government entities have been conducted in smaller batches to minimize market disruption.

清算如此大量比特幣的決定也引發了人們對其對市場價格潛在影響的擔憂。從歷史上看，政府實體扣押的比特幣的大量銷售都是小批量進行的，以盡量減少對市場的干擾。

However, Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, sought to reassure investors by noting that the $6.5 billion sale could be absorbed within a week, given the market’s capacity. “Last year, $379 billion entered the market based on realized cap — roughly $1 billion per day. The U.S. government selling $6.5 billion could be absorbed in just a week,” Ju stated on social media.

然而，CryptoQuant 執行長 Ki Young Ju 試圖安撫投資者，他指出，鑑於市場容量，65 億美元的銷售可能會在一周內消化。 「去年，以已實現上限計算，有 3,790 億美元進入市場——大約每天 10 億美元。美國政府出售的65億美元僅需一周即可吸收。

Bitcoin price retreats below six figures

Bitcoin price briefly crossed the six-figure mark on Jan. 7. Now, it’s trading at around $93,300, down 2% for the day from a price of $95,000 on Bitcoin Liquid Index (BLX) at the time of writing. After falling below $90,000 on Jan. 4, BTC’s price recovered quickly.

1 月 7 日，比特幣價格一度突破六位數大關。 1 月 4 日跌破 9 萬美元後，BTC 價格迅速回升。

This development underscores the challenges of managing seized digital assets in a volatile market, especially considering the scale of this particular Bitcoin stash and the attention it has garnered from investors, policymakers, and industry stakeholders alike.

這一事態發展凸顯了在動蕩的市場中管理被扣押的數位資產所面臨的挑戰，特別是考慮到這一特定比特幣藏匿的規模及其吸引了投資者、政策制定者和行業利益相關者等的關注。

While the market appears resilient to the news, the potential sale — or retention — of these assets will likely remain a focal point for investors, policymakers, and industry stakeholders, shaping discussions on regulatory strategies and market stability in the coming months.

儘管市場似乎對這一消息有彈性，但這些資產的潛在出售或保留可能仍然是投資者、政策制定者和行業利益相關者的焦點，從而影響未來幾個月有關監管策略和市場穩定的討論。
