The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation seized more than $560,000 in cryptocurrency under court-authorized actions and took control of domains and servers allegedly used by Hamas to raise funds and recruit supporters. The operation covered three seizures dated March 25, June 25, and Oct. 10, 2025. Investigators identified a crypto group chat that directed supporters to fundraising websites and tracked rotating cryptocurrency addresses tied to the effort. The FBI also obtained information on thousands of people who had contacted Hamas online and allegedly attempted to donate using either cryptocurrency or traditional payment methods. The action expands on a previously announced March 2025 seizure involving $200,000 in crypto. Earlier findings showed that at least 17 related addresses had moved more than $1.5 million since October 2024, with funds flowing through exchanges, over-the-counter brokers, and accounts in places including Turkey, according to Bitcoin.com News.
