DOJ Seizes $560K in Crypto Allegedly Bound for Hamas

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has seized over $560,000 in cryptocurrency allegedly bound for Hamas. The funds were obtained through court-authorized seizures under three unsealed warrants issued in March, June, and October 2025.

The DOJ targeted fundraising infrastructure associated with Hamas' military wing, the Al Qassam Brigades. According to investigators, the group provided potential donors with rotating cryptocurrency addresses intended to move money outside the formal financial system.

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro described the seizure as 'a massive blow' to Hamas, stating that their networks are not secure and their crypto is vulnerable.
