Holds approximately $24.7 billion in Bitcoin, U.S. House committee advances bill to make Strategic Bitcoin Reserve permanent
Odaily reports: Bitcoin News posted on X platform that the U.S. House Financial Services Committee on September 16 advanced the "American Reserve Modernization Act of 2026" by a vote of 28 to 21, which seeks to codify into federal law the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve established by Trump through executive order, and would require the government to hold confiscated Bitcoin for at least 20 years.The bill would also require public proof of reserves, independent audits, and a study on increasing Bitcoin holdings without raising taxes, government borrowing, or the federal deficit; the bill still needs to pass the full House and the Senate. Arkham Intelligence estimates that the U.S. government holds approximately 324,500 Bitcoin, worth about $24.7 billion, but the exact size has not yet been confirmed by unified government disclosure.
Irish authorities recover another 500 BTC from lost Bitcoin of convicted drug trafficker Clifton Collins
The Irish Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) stated that it has recovered another 500 BTC, worth nearly $31 million, from the lost crypto assets of convicted drug trafficker Clifton Collins. To date, the agency has recovered a total of 1,500 BTC in this case, valued at over $92 million at current prices.This operation was supported by Europol's European Cybercrime Centre. Europol stated that it organized operational meetings at its headquarters in The Hague and provided investigators with complex technical support and decryption resources to help them access the relevant wallet assets.The case involves 12 Bitcoin wallets accumulated by Collins from the proceeds of selling and cultivating cannabis, which initially held a total of 6,000 BTC. Previously, Irish authorities had recovered 500 BTC each in March and May.Arkham data shows that approximately 4,500 BTC remain in dormant wallets, valued at over $275 million.
Arkham: Nakamoto’s unrealized loss exceeds 35%, making it the worst-performing Bitcoin treasury company to date
Arkham posted on X stating that Nakamoto purchased approximately $679 million worth of Bitcoin at an average price of about $118,000 per BTC and has held it long-term without selling—except for a sale of 284 BTC at roughly $70,000 per BTC three months ago, resulting in cumulative losses of approximately $224 million. It is thus far the worst-performing Bitcoin treasury company. Currently, the market value of Nakamoto’s Bitcoin holdings has declined by over 35%, and its stock price has plunged 99.4%, falling from $1,000 (post-split adjusted) to $5.60. Its actual peak stock price reached only around $30, subsequently dropping below $0.20, prompting a 1-for-40 reverse stock split to comply with Nasdaq listing requirements.
Arkham: Arthur Hayes' Net Worth Estimated Between $200 Million and $350 Million
Arkham has disclosed that BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes' estimated net worth in 2026 could range between $200 million and $350 million, with verifiable on-chain assets totaling approximately $42 million. His wealth primarily stems from his BitMEX equity, his family office Maelstrom fund, and potential undisclosed token investments. Although BitMEX has significantly declined from its 2019 peak (with an annual trading volume exceeding $1 trillion and a valuation of around $3.6 billion), its current valuation stands at approximately $500 million, yet it still constitutes a core component of his asset base.Arthur Hayes was previously sentenced in 2022 for violating the Bank Secrecy Act and was later pardoned by Donald Trump in 2025. Despite navigating regulatory controversies, he remains influential in the crypto industry, particularly active in innovating perpetual swaps and sharing market perspectives.Overall, Arthur Hayes is still regarded as a key opinion leader in the crypto market, with his asset structure closely correlated to market cycles.

Suspected Humanity Team-Linked Wallet Deposits 70 Million H Tokens Worth $4.91 Million to CEX
Odaily reports: According to Arkham monitoring, a whale address transferred 70 million H tokens worth $4.91 million to cryptocurrency exchange Bybit over the past 24 hours.

Odaily News: According to Bitcoin News monitoring, a wallet that had been inactive since May 2011 transferred 20.43 BTC, worth $1.7 million, ending 15.4 years of dormancy. Arkham tracking shows that these BTC came from Braiins (Slush Pool) payouts of approximately $3 to $4.The BTC obtained by this wallet on May 1 and May 8, 2011 has been split and transferred to SegWit addresses, with fees of less than $1, and has not yet been transferred to any known exchange deposit address. Early transfers from the same wallet have also been flagged as related to Mt. Gox and Silk Road, both of which were commonly used channels in 2011.The Mt. Gox trustee still holds approximately 34,500 BTC, and the deadline for creditors to file claims is October 31, 2026.

Analyst: Strategy's transfer of BTC is a normal internal transfer between Fidelity custodial addresses.
In response to previous on-chain monitoring showing Strategy transferring out 3,568 BTC ($297 million), Arkham analyst Emmett Gallic clarified that the involved BTC was neither sold nor transferred to an external platform, but rather constitutes routine fund transfers within Fidelity's custody system. Fidelity treats client-deposited BTC as fungible assets and reallocates funds across different addresses as needed; these addresses are already labeled as "Fidelity" custody addresses on Arkham.
Taiko bridge attack may result in losses up to $1.7 million
Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain Taiko has stated its chain state verification mechanism has been compromised, and the security assumptions of all bridges deployed on Taiko can no longer be relied upon. It urges users to immediately withdraw funds from the relevant bridges. Taiko says it is coordinating with partners to control the incident and has suspended the affected systems.Crypto security firm Blockaid stated that the root cause appears to be a flaw in the way Taiko's bridge validates source signals. Attackers can submit message proofs on Ethereum that lack legitimate proof from the Taiko chain, thereby registering and withdrawing fraudulent bridge messages. This leads to the unauthorized release of assets from the ERC20 treasury. Blockaid estimates at least $1 million was stolen, while Lookonchain and PeckShield believe the value of stolen assets could be as high as $1.7 million.PeckShield reported that the attacker has transferred approximately 1.99 million TAIKO tokens to MEXC, valued at around $189,000. Data from blockchain intelligence firm Arkham shows that the Taiko attacker's wallet holds approximately $1.5 million in assets, primarily in Ether. (Cointelegraph)

Nansen analysis shows that after World Liberty's token purchases were detected on-chain, the relevant tokens typically rose 10% to 26% within a day, but most of those gains failed to hold.World Liberty stated that the company continuously adjusts its strategy based on market changes and business priorities, and emphasized that it has no connection to decision-making by the Trump administration.
