The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has seized approximately $560,000 in cryptocurrency and taken over the domains and servers of a fundraising website linked to Hamas. The U.S. Department of Justice stated the funds were allegedly intended for Hamas's military wing, Al Qassam Brigades. Investigators used three seizure warrants dated March 25, June 25, and October 10, 2025, to trace and confiscate the assets, which included Bitcoin, Ethereum, Wrapped Ethereum, Tether, and TRON. The assets were held across 18 addresses controlled by Tether and three Binance accounts. Court documents revealed that encrypted chat groups had directed supporters to AlQassam.ps and used rotating wallet addresses to collect donations. After taking over the domains and servers, the FBI obtained information on thousands of individuals who had contacted Hamas to inquire about donations, according to Decrypt.
