Anchorage Digital CEO Calls ‘Bullshit’ on Report of DHS Probe

Anchorage Digital CEO Nathan McCauley denied experiences that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is investigating the crypto financial institution, calling the reporting “bullshit” throughout a panel dialogue at Consensus 2025 in Toronto on Wednesday

In an article revealed final month, enterprise publication Barron’s reported that DHS’s cash laundering and monetary crimes unit, the El Dorado Task Force, was contacting former Anchorage staff to ask them concerning the firm’s practices and insurance policies. Neither Anchorage nor DHS commented on the report for that story.

Following the report, McCauley mentioned his agency requested its legal professionals to look into the allegations and located them to be unfaithful.

“There is no investigation into us, as is unambiguously clear at this point,” McCauley mentioned. “That article is what some might call bullshit. Happy to clear the air on that.”

Anchorage Digital is broadly thought of one of probably the most regulatory compliant firms within the crypto house. In December, it obtained a highly-coveted and difficult-to-get BitLicense from the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), one of the hardest regulators within the crypto business.
