FBI Seizes Over $560,000 in Cryptocurrency, Gains Information on Potential Hamas Donors

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has seized over $560,000 in cryptocurrency through court authorization, along with controlling domains and servers allegedly used by Hamas for fundraising and recruiting supporters. This operation involved three seizures on March 25, June 25, and October 10, 2025. Investigators identified a crypto group chat that directed supporters to fundraising websites and tracked rotating cryptocurrency addresses. The operation also obtained information on thousands of individuals who had previously contacted Hamas online, attempting to donate via cryptocurrency or traditional methods. This action expands upon a previous seizure of $200,000 in cryptocurrency announced in March 2025. At least 17 related addresses have transferred over $1.5 million since October 2024, with funds passing through exchanges, over-the-counter brokers, and accounts in Turkey.
