Treasury Department operates under Scott Bessent as Secretary of the Treasury and encompasses major bureaus and offices including the Office of Foreign Assets Control, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Internal Revenue Service, the U.S. Mint, and the Bureau of the Fiscal Service. Its mission explicitly includes strengthening national security by protecting the integrity of the financial system, making it a central actor in crypto sanctions and anti-money-laundering policy.
Treasury Department has played a defining role in shaping U.S. digital-asset policy. On January 23, 2025, Executive Order 14178 revoked Treasury's prior framework for international engagement on digital assets and placed the Secretary of the Treasury on the President's Working Group on Digital Asset Markets, which was directed to propose a federal regulatory framework covering digital assets and stablecoins and to evaluate a potential national digital asset stockpile derived from lawfully seized cryptocurrencies. A subsequent executive order on March 6, 2025 directed the Secretary of the Treasury to establish an office administering the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, capitalized with Bitcoin held by Treasury through final criminal or civil asset forfeiture or civil money penalties, with government BTC designated as a permanent reserve asset not to be sold. The same order directed the Secretary to establish an office administering the United States Digital Asset Stockpile, holding non-BTC digital assets acquired through forfeiture, with the Secretary determining stewardship strategies.
Treasury Department's sanctions record in the digital-asset space spans several landmark actions. In May 2022, the Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned virtual-currency mixer Blender.io in what OFAC described as Treasury's first-ever sanctions action against a virtual currency mixer, citing its processing of more than $20.5 million in illicit proceeds linked to the Lazarus Group's Axie Infinity-related heist. In August 2022, OFAC sanctioned Tornado Cash, stating the mixer had been used to launder more than $7 billion in virtual currency since its creation, including over $455 million stolen by Lazarus Group. On March 21, 2025, Treasury removed economic sanctions against Tornado Cash while reaffirming concern over North Korean state-sponsored hacking and money laundering; Secretary Bessent stated that securing the digital-asset industry from illicit actors is essential to U.S. financial leadership and innovation.
