U.S. Justice Department Seizes Hamas Assets, Including Cryptocurrency
The U.S. Justice Department announced on September 1 that it seized over $560,000 in cryptocurrency and disrupted online infrastructure allegedly used by Hamas for fundraising and recruitment activities. The FBI took control of domains and servers linked to the Al Qassam Brigades, Hamas’ military wing, while also intercepting crypto donations through warrants issued between March 25, June 25, and October 10, 2025. This action is part of a broader U.S. strategy targeting Hamas financing, which includes Treasury Department sanctions imposed on July 23 against individuals and entities accused of funneling money to the group through charities and underground financial networks involving both fiat and cryptocurrencies.
