Some Iranian crypto wallet owners may not even know yet that their money is 
gone. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent disclosed Friday that the US has 
quietly seized roughly $1 billion in digital assets tied to Iran, a figure 
that has nearly tripled from earlier estimates released just weeks ago.

Burn Operation Economic Fury The seizures are part of a campaign called 
Operation Economic Fury, launched in March 2025, which has gone after Iranian 
assets on multiple fronts — freezing bank accounts, confiscating properties 
with European allies, and targeting cryptocurrency holdings. Bessent spoke 
about the effort at the Reagan National Economic Forum, describing the 
operation as part of a broader effort to cut off Iran financially. The $1 
billion disclosure is roughly double the $500 million the Treasury Department 
announced in late April, and far above the $344 million figure that was made 
public earlier that same month. The numbers have been climbing fast. A Regime 
Under Pressure Iran&#8217;s financial situation, according to Bessent, has grown 
increasingly dire. He said inflation inside the country has likely surpassed 
200%, food vouchers are being handed out, the internet has been shut down, and 
between 40 and 50% of Iranian troops are not receiving their pay. 💴🔺 U.S.

enforcement against Tehran. ￼ The figure… — Drop Site (@DropSiteNews) May 29, 
2026 Before the US stepped in, Bessent said the regime had been drawing $400 
to $500 million a month and splitting it among roughly 80 leaders. That flow 
of money has since been disrupted, he said. The treasury secretary also 
touched on ongoing negotiations with Iran, saying the talks are complicated by 
a fractured leadership structure following strikes by the US and Israel on 
senior regime figures. The military campaign has been running for five and a 
half to six weeks, he said. Iran&#8217;s Bitcoin Gambit Even as its assets are being 
seized abroad, Iran has been exploring ways to use cryptocurrency to generate 
new income. Reports say the country has been weighing a platform called Hormuz 
Safe, which would sell digital marine insurance paid in Bitcoin to ships 
passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Related Reading: Bitcoin Could Enter 
Freefall If This Level Cracks: Analyst According to a state document cited by 
Fars News Agency, an outlet affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard 
Corps, the scheme could bring in over $10 billion. Whether that plan gains 
traction remains unclear. What is clear is that Iran is losing ground fast — 
its cash pipelines cut, its digital wallets emptied, and its leadership 
scrambling to find new ways to keep money flowing in. Featured image from
