Bitcoin influencer Pierre Rochard has called on lawmakers to prevent more than $1.6 billion worth of seized Bitcoin from being auctioned, proposing instead that confiscated coins be put into a strategic BTC reserve.
Rochard, a Bitcoin maximalist behind the recent controversy over ETH’s total supply, wants legislators to draft and pass a bill containing amendments to the Judiciary Act of 1789 that would allow the U.S. Marshals Service to hold onto any Bitcoin it received.
