DOJ seizes $560K in crypto tied to Hamas
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has dealt a significant blow to Hamas by seizing over $560,000 in cryptocurrency. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro described it as 'a massive blow' to the organization.
The funds were seized through court-authorized seizures under three unsealed warrants issued in March, June, and October 2025. According to the DOJ, the seizures targeted fundraising infrastructure associated with Hamas' military wing, the Al Qassam Brigades.
Pirro noted that the DOJ now has 'the names and identities of thousands of individuals who tried to give money to Hamas that we were able to intercept.' The information will be used in future counterterrorism work, per the DOJ.
