美国司法部 (DOJ) 已获准出售从丝绸之路暗网市场查获的约 69,370 枚比特币，价值 65 亿美元，解决了长期的所有权纠纷。

On December 30, 2024, Chief U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg rejected a motion to prevent the forfeiture, siding with the DOJ’s request to sell the cryptocurrency assets.

2024 年 12 月 30 日，美国地方法院首席法官理查德·西博格 (Richard Seeborg) 驳回了一项阻止没收的动议，支持司法部出售加密货币资产的要求。

Private investment firm Battle Born Investments, which claimed ownership of the Bitcoin through a bankruptcy estate, was unsuccessful in blocking the sale after bringing an appeal in October 2024 challenging the seizure of the Bitcoin stash. The group had filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to reveal the identity of “Individual X,” the person who originally handed over the Bitcoin, but their efforts were ultimately blocked.

私人投资公司 Battle Born Investments 通过破产财产声称拥有比特币的所有权，但在 2024 年 10 月提出上诉，质疑扣押比特币藏品后，未能成功阻止出售。该组织已提交《信息自由法》(FOIA) 请求，要求披露最初交出比特币的“个人 X”的身份，但他们的努力最终被阻止。

The firm’s lawyers accused the DOJ of using “procedural trickery” in its handling of the case, claiming the department relied on civil asset forfeiture to bypass scrutiny.

该公司的律师指责司法部在处理此案时使用“程序欺骗”，声称该部门依靠没收民事资产来绕过审查。

In court, the DOJ argued that Bitcoin’s price volatility was a key reason for their push to quickly sell the seized assets. “The Government will proceed further consistent with the judgment in this case,” a DOJ spokesperson said.

在法庭上，司法部辩称，比特币的价格波动是他们推动快速出售被扣押资产的一个关键原因。 “政府将根据本案的判决进一步采取行动，”司法部发言人表示。

The U.S. Marshals Service is slated to handle the liquidation of the seized Bitcoin, a process that, if finalized, will rank among the largest government-led crypto asset sales to date.

美国法警局计划处理被扣押的比特币的清算，这一过程如果最终完成，将跻身迄今为止最大的政府主导的加密资产销售之列。

The ruling does not ensure an immediate sale, as the federal asset forfeiture process involves several administrative procedures and could be subject to further appeals.

该裁决并不能确保立即出售，因为联邦资产没收程序涉及多个行政程序，并且可能会受到进一步上诉。

The U.S. government has already sold parts of the seized Bitcoin in recent months. On December 3, 2024, nearly $2 billion worth of the digital currency was transferred to Coinbase. This transaction is part of an ongoing custody arrangement between the DOJ’s U.S. Marshals Service and Coinbase Prime.

近几个月来，美国政府已经出售了部分被扣押的比特币。 2024 年 12 月 3 日，价值近 20 亿美元的数字货币被转移到 Coinbase。该交易是司法部美国法警局与 Coinbase Prime 之间持续托管安排的一部分。

The Bitcoin seized from the Silk Road case, originally valued at only a few dollars per coin, has experienced a dramatic rise in value over the years. This surge has been particularly notable since President-elect Donald Trump’s increasing interest in cryptocurrency.

从丝绸之路案件中查获的比特币，原本每枚仅几美元，但多年来价值大幅上涨。自从当选总统唐纳德·特朗普对加密货币的兴趣日益浓厚以来，这种激增尤其引人注目。

Trump’s vocal support for digital assets has played a role in the growing mainstream acceptance of Bitcoin, as his statements and political influence have raised awareness and sparked discussions about the future of the cryptocurrency market.

特朗普对数字资产的直言不讳的支持在比特币主流接受度不断提高的过程中发挥了作用，因为他的言论和政治影响力提高了人们的认识并引发了对加密货币市场未来的讨论。

The upcoming sale is expected to have significant implications for both the cryptocurrency market and government asset recovery strategies.

即将到来的出售预计将对加密货币市场和政府资产回收策略产生重大影响。
