doj bitcoin seizure

The term **"DOJ Bitcoin seizure"** refers to an event or action in which the **U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)** seizes (takes possession of) Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies as part of a criminal investigation or legal proceeding. This usually happens when Bitcoin is linked to illegal activities such as hacking, fraud, drug trafficking, or money laundering. After seizure, the DOJ holds the assets until they are either returned to victims or liquidated through lawful procedures, often following a court judgment or forfeiture process.
