U.S. agents seize about $560,000 in cryptocurrency linked to Hamas and take over fundraising infrastructure
U.S. federal agents seized about $560,000 in cryptocurrency allegedly tied to Hamas’ military wing and took control of domains and servers used in the group’s fundraising and recruitment activity [1] [2].
Reporting described the operation as disrupting Hamas’s fundraising mechanism by obtaining control of the domain and hosting infrastructure for the group’s primary website, Alqassam.ps, rather than focusing only on individual donations [3].
One report said law enforcement used warrant executions in 2025 and, with the help of confidential informants, tracked rotating cryptocurrency wallet addresses distributed via encrypted messaging platforms [4] [3].
