$560K in Crypto Seized by DOJ, Allegedly Bound for Hamas
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has seized over $560,000 in cryptocurrency that was allegedly bound for Hamas. The move is seen as a significant blow to the militant group's funding efforts.
According to the DOJ, the funds were seized through court-authorized warrants issued in March, June, and October 2025. The seizures targeted fundraising infrastructure associated with Hamas' military wing, the Al Qassam Brigades.
Federal investigators intercepted cryptocurrency addresses promoted to supporters through an encrypted group chat and a fundraising website. The information gathered will be used in future counterterrorism work, per the DOJ.
