The U.S. government just transferred about $606,000 of bitcoin to Coinbase Prime, with on-chain data tying the coins to the 2016 Bitfinex hack. The government currently holds roughly $24.5 billion in bitcoin as part of its strategic digital asset reserve. CoinDesk's Jennifer Sanasie hosts "CoinDesk Daily."
