FBI Cracks Hamas Crypto Fundraising Pipeline, Seizes Over Half Million Dollars

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has successfully disrupted Hamas' cryptocurrency fundraising pipeline by seizing linked domains and servers, allowing agents to intercept new donations intended for the group. According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), more than $560,000 in digital assets tied to Hamas fundraising were recovered through court-authorized seizures issued in March, June, and October 2025.

The operation targeted AlQassam.ps, a website linked to the Al Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing. Investigators connected fundraising communications to related infrastructure by tracing authenticated responses from fund@alqassam.ps routed through host.alaqsaflood.org. The FBI then worked with human sources to identify and seize domains and servers associated with the operation.

Control of that infrastructure changed the scope of the investigation, allowing agents to intercept crypto donations intended for Hamas and obtain additional information about people attempting to contribute. This turned the case from a retrospective tracing effort into an active disruption operation.
