U.S. SEC Chair Comments on Potential Seizure of Venezuela's Alleged Bitcoin Holdings

According to BlockBeats, on January 13, U.S. SEC Chair Paul Atkins stated that the decision on whether the United States will seize Venezuela's alleged Bitcoin assets remains uncertain. In an interview with Fox Business, Atkins addressed claims that Venezuela might possess up to $6 billion worth of Bitcoin, approximately 60,000 BTC. He noted that several blockchain analysts have been unable to verify these claims. The decision regarding the disposition of these assets will be made by other government departments, as the SEC is not involved in this matter.
