The Department of Justice said investigators seized more than $560,000 in cryptocurrency and took control of domains and servers said to support Hamas fundraising and recruitment.

Authorities traced rotating crypto addresses via blockchain records and human sources, recovering about $201,400 in an initial stage from wallets and exchange accounts in a network that moved over $1.5 million since October 2024.
