- Taiwan holds 210.45 BTC in seized crypto assets.
- Total value of seized virtual assets is NT$1.3 billion.

Taiwan’s Ministry of Justice has disclosed that it currently holds 210.45 Bitcoin (BTC) in confiscated digital assets. This announcement was made public by Legislator Ju-Chun Ko, shedding light on the government’s increasing involvement in crypto-related investigations and seizures.
The seized BTC, along with other virtual assets, totals a value of NT$1.3 billion (approximately $41 million USD). These assets were seized as part of legal actions against criminal activities involving digital currencies, such as money laundering, fraud, and illicit online operations.
Lawmakers Urge Clearer Regulation
The revelation has sparked a debate among lawmakers and regulators. While the government has been successful in tracking and seizing digital currencies tied to criminal cases, questions remain around how these assets are managed, stored, and eventually liquidated.
Legislator Ko emphasized the need for transparent procedures in handling confiscated crypto and pushed for the development of a more robust regulatory framework. The aim is to ensure proper valuation, storage, and potential use or auctioning of such assets by the state.
Growing Importance of Crypto Asset Management
As cryptocurrencies become more widely adopted, governments across the globe are facing similar challenges in managing seized digital assets. Taiwan’s case highlights the need for updated laws and clear guidelines on crypto asset recovery and handling.
This growing pile of confiscated digital assets also signals Taiwan’s increasingly active role in digital asset oversight. With 210.45 BTC already in government hands, Taiwan joins a list of nations taking digital finance enforcement seriously.
