Aidan Larkin of Asset Reality stated in response to questions about the US government and Bitcoin: "Basically, recent court approval is a normal procedure for any civil forfeiture. Moreover, this does not mean that the US will immediately press the sell button. The sale of Bitcoin must follow very strict procedures."

He added: "At some point in the future, it will go through normal government procedures. There will be a civil forfeiture application hearing. They will obtain approval, and then it will enter normal law enforcement procedures and the public domain." It is understood that Asset Reality is a US company that helps the government manage seized assets and has extensive experience in asset management.
