What would settle it: On-chain transaction records tracing the 40,285 BNB from the originating government-linked address to its final destination.
What to make of it
Treat the BTC transfer to Coinbase Prime and the overall $103 million figure as established, but the final destination of the BNB is unresolved until on-chain records showing the BNB’s final address are checked.

Update 07 Oct 2026, 08:35 UTC · added by CoinGape
CoinGape adds specific figures to the transfer: roughly $103M total, including 833.6 BTC (about $71.56M) sent to Coinbase Prime and 40,285 BNB (about $31.63M) routed through multiple hops to an unlabeled wallet, resolving the destination dispute in favor of neither being a direct Coinbase deposit for the BNB. It also reports that no Treasury or DOJ statement has confirmed the transfer’s purpose, with analysts characterizing it as a likely custody reshuffle rather than a confirmed sale.
