美国政府抛售比特币？

8 月 14 日星期三，美国政府随后从臭名昭著的丝绸之路转移比特币，引发了大量投机活动。

Finance attorney Scott Johnsson claims that the US Marshals Service (USMS) is likely selling Bitcoin from the defunct Silk Road marketplace.

财务律师斯科特·约翰森 (Scott Johnsson) 声称，美国法警局 (USMS) 可能正在从已不复存在的丝绸之路市场出售比特币。

The claims are based on a servicing agreement that the USMS entered into with Coinbase in June, which Johnsson says would explain the transfer of Bitcoin to Coinbase Prime. If true, the sales could have a major impact on the cryptocurrency market, as the USMS may have either sold or is preparing to sell these assets once the Bitcoin reaches Coinbase Prime.

这些说法基于 USMS 6 月份与 Coinbase 签订的服务协议，Johnsson 表示该协议将解释比特币向 Coinbase Prime 的转移。如果属实，此次出售可能会对加密货币市场产生重大影响，因为一旦比特币到达 Coinbase Prime，USMS 可能已经出售或正准备出售这些资产。

US Government Selling Bitcoin Again?

美国政府再次抛售比特币？

On Wednesday, August 14, another transfer of Bitcoin by the US government from the Infamous Silk Road has sparked speculation.

8 月 14 日星期三，美国政府再次从臭名昭著的丝绸之路转移比特币引发了猜测。

According to analysis from blockchain analytics firm Arkham, on Wednesday, Coinbase Prime, a platform primarily used by institutional investors, received 10,000 Silk Road Bitcoins, currently valued at approximately $593.5 million.

根据区块链分析公司 Arkham 的分析，周三，主要由机构投资者使用的平台 Coinbase Prime 收到了 10,000 个丝绸之路比特币，目前价值约为 5.935 亿美元。

This transaction follows the announcement by the US Marshals Service (USMS), a branch of the Department of Justice, in June that it had chosen Coinbase Prime to provide custody and advanced trading capabilities for the Class 1 (large cap) digital assets of the agency.

在此交易之前，美国司法部下属法警局 (USMS) 在 6 月份宣布选择 Coinbase Prime 为该机构的 1 类（大盘）数字资产提供托管和先进的交易功能。

The community is torn on whether these actions indicate a sale of the Bitcoin or simply a transfer for custody, with many speculating that the government is not selling.

社区对于这些行为是否意味着出售比特币或仅仅是为了托管而存在分歧，许多人猜测政府并没有出售比特币。

“Coinbase Prime now has 10,000 Silk Road BTC (worth $593,5M). Two weeks ago, the well-known US government wallet sent 10K BTC to wallet bc1ql. This Bitcoin was recently sent to Coinbase Prime deposit wallet 33J.”

“Coinbase Prime 现在拥有 10,000 个 Silk Road BTC（价值 5.935 亿美元）。两周前，著名的美国政府钱包向钱包bc1ql发送了10K BTC。该比特币最近被发送到 Coinbase Prime 存款钱包 33J。”

However, managing partner at Van Buren Capital and finance attorney Scott Johnsson offered an alternative perspective on Monday, asserting that the deal represents the final sale of the confiscated assets by the US government.

然而，范布伦资本 (Van Buren Capital) 的执行合伙人和财务律师斯科特·约翰森 (Scott Johnsson) 周一提出了另一种观点，声称该交易代表美国政府对被没收资产的最终出售。

“Yes, US Marshal Service (USMS) is almost certainly selling Silk Road Bitcoin […]

“是的，美国元帅局 (USMS) 几乎肯定正在出售丝绸之路比特币 [...]

USMS has been sending BTC to a custodial address required by the terms of the servicing agreement […]

USMS 已将 BTC 发送到服务协议条款要求的托管地址 [...]

Given the agreement requires USMS assets remain completely segregated, whenever a transfer is ultimately made to CB prime (or other commingled exchange address), you can be sure USMS has already sold or is selling imminently.”

鉴于协议要求 USMS 资产保持完全隔离，无论何时最终转移到 CB prime（或其他混合交易地址），您都可以确定 USMS 已经出售或即将出售。”

According to Johnsson, the transfer of Bitcoin by the USMS to a custodial address is mandated by this agreement.

约翰逊表示，该协议强制要求 USMS 将比特币转移到托管地址。

The transfer of these funds to a commingled exchange account, such as Coinbase Prime, is a key indication of an impending or finalized transaction, as highlighted by Johnsson. This pattern of transfers suggests that the USMS is actively selling its Bitcoin holdings.

正如约翰逊所强调的那样，将这些资金转移到混合交易账户（例如 Coinbase Prime）是即将发生或最终完成的交易的关键指标。这种转移模式表明 USMS 正在积极出售其持有的比特币。

“Not necessarily CB alone (there’s an interim segregated custody step), but once they hit commingled addresses it’s reasonable to infer they’re sold. And yea, there was a backlog of forfeited BTC that was supposed to be sold already. Finalizing the services agreement appears to…”

“不一定是 CB（有一个临时隔离托管步骤），但一旦它们到达混合地址，就可以合理地推断它们已被出售。是的，有大量被没收的比特币积压，本应已经出售。敲定服务协议似乎……”

Interestingly, Johnsson adds that this selling activity has increased following a recent speech by former President Trump, which could indicate a political angle to the timing of these sales.

有趣的是，约翰逊补充说，在前总统特朗普最近发表讲话后，这种销售活动有所增加，这可能表明这些销售时机的政治角度。

He points to several court orders and an audit report by the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General that may have set the stage for this action.

他指出，几项法院命令和司法部监察长办公室的审计报告可能为这一行动奠定了基础。
