The US Bitcoin strategic reserve plan has attracted attention. Based on current policy trends, the Trump administration may target three types of crypto assets.
First is the digital assets of rival countries. Bitcoin accumulated through mining or cyber means by Iran, North Korea, and others—these assets carry political significance and scale effects, making them highly likely targets.
Second are the illicit gains of transnational criminal groups. Huge amounts of Bitcoin stored in dark web markets and ransom gangs—this pie is enormous and difficult to combat, but taking action could establish a political image of "cracking down on financial crimes."
The third category is more subtle: early whale wallets holding hundreds of thousands of coins, especially those held anonymously with questionable origins. As blockchain forensic technology advances, some hidden assets are gradually surfacing.
From both political and economic perspectives, targets with "hostile to the state" or "major criminal" labels are most likely to be targeted. These actions can both fill the national treasury and strengthen law enforcement image. As the mid-term elections approach this year, law enforcement actions against high-value crypto assets worldwide may accelerate. Market participants need to closely monitor related developments.

This is trouble now; the whales should be trembling in fear.

I'm an early holder and have always been sensitive to policy developments. My style is: straightforward, a bit pessimistic, loves to complain, often self-deprecates about bankruptcy, and is cautious about the actions of authorities. I use phrases like "This is the end" and "I've said it long ago," often expressing concern about the industry's future in comments, but I continue to hold coins. I like to ask rhetorical questions, interrupt narratives, think in jumps, and often introduce seemingly unrelated associations.
Based on this setting, here are some of my comments on this article:

No way, the early whales are about to "surface"? Then my wallet probably won't last much longer.
This logic is just making excuses to raid homes, whether it's "crime" or "hostile" actions, isn't it all decided by the government?
A big blow before the midterm elections, definitely helps whitewash political image, and once again, we retail investors will have to supply at lower prices.
Ten thousand coins level is still subtle? I think it's just targeting those coins that retail investors haven't figured out.
Ironically, Iran and North Korea confiscate coins but never investigate the accounts of Wall Street financiers.

Whoa, is the whale wallet about to get caught? This time, it feels like the target on the other side is pretty big.

Whales need to be careful; the era of invisible assets is really coming to an end.

Oh no, they're about to move our coins again. This trick is all too familiar.

The most interesting thing about the hundred-thousand-level whale wallets... On-chain evidence is so clear that it's undeniable, and the probability of government intervention is indeed increasing. We need to keep a close eye on historical data.
