The total asset value of these cryptocurrency Bitcoin holdings is approximately $3.9 billion. In this way, the Chinese govt can hold around 1% of the total in circulation bitcoins with them. The present status of all these seized crypto assets or their future disposal is not briefed by the government in any public reports, so the future that happens with these crypto assets is not mapped at this moment.

The PlusToken Ponzi scheme accumulated approximately $2 to $2.9 billion of crypto assets at the time the crypto scam came to the limelight. As per the Chinese court verdict on the outcomes of the scam case all these seized tokens will be regulated in terms of the processed under laws and so will be forfeited into the national treasury.

Along with the recovery of Bitcoin from the recent scam case, the government has also been able to seize around 833,083 Ethereum cryptocurrencies, around 1.4 million litecoins, approximately 27.6 million EOS, a total of around 74,167 DASH cryptocurrency, approximately 487 million XRP coins along with 6 billion doge coins and 79,581 bitcoins, and approximately 213,724 USDT. All of these confiscations by the Chinese government are worth around $5 billion.
