The finding comes just weeks after the U.S. Department of Justice filed a civil forfeiture complaint to formally seize those assets in a case linked to Prince Group founder Chen Zhi, who was reportedly the original owner of the Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<h3>U.S. Custody Before Formal Seizure<\/h3>\n<p>According to China\u2019s analysis, the U.S. government was already holding the funds well before filing the forfeiture claim in October 2025. CVERC cited blockchain data from Arkham Intelligence, which showed that nearly 120,576 BTC was transferred from an address marked \u201cLuBian.com Hacker\u201d to one labeled \u201cU.S. Government: Chen Zhi Seized Funds\u201d on July 5, 2024 \u2013 over a year earlier.<\/p>\n<p>The agency noted that the stolen Bitcoin had remained untouched for nearly four years, claiming such long dormancy was \u201cinconsistent with the behavior of typical hackers\u201d seeking profit. Instead, CVERC argued, it suggested a \u201ccoordinated operation\u201d more typical of a state-linked actor.<\/p>\n<h3>Blockchain Pleas Ignored<\/h3>\n<p>The report also revealed that Chen Zhi and Prince Group sent multiple small Bitcoin transactions \u2013 each worth around $23 \u2013 to the hacker\u2019s address over several years, embedding messages pleading for the return of the stolen funds and offering a reward. None of the messages were ever answered.<\/p>\n<p>CVERC\u2019s claims add a geopolitical twist to what was already considered the largest Bitcoin theft ever recorded. The case now sits at the intersection of cybercrime, international law, and global crypto politics, as both nations continue to position themselves strategically in the digital asset arena.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1\">Read More:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row

the time of the report, the LuBian-linked Bitcoin represents roughly 39% of all BTC held in wallets associated with the U.S. government, according to Arkham.<\/p>\n<p>The controversy also comes amid growing rhetoric from U.S. President Donald Trump, who recently claimed the U.S. was \u201cfar ahead of China\u201d in crypto adoption, while acknowledging that Beijing is now \u201cgetting into it in a very big way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether CVERC\u2019s claims hold weight remains uncertain, but the episode underscores the deepening technological and financial tensions between the world\u2019s two largest economies \u2013 now extending firmly into the blockchain realm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China\u2019s top cyber defense agency has suggested that the United States
