Anchorage Digital CEO Dismisses Allegations of DHS Investigation as Baseless

During a panel discussion at Consensus 2025 in Toronto, Anchorage Digital's CEO, Nathan McCauley, vehemently denied reports that the US Department of Homeland Security is investigating the cryptocurrency bank. He described the claims as entirely unfounded. The allegations originated from a recent article by Barron's, which suggested that the El Dorado Task Force, a unit within DHS focused on money laundering and financial crimes, had been in contact with former Anchorage employees to inquire about the company's practices. Following the report, McCauley's firm conducted an internal review, which found no evidence to support the claims. McCauley emphasized that Anchorage Digital is committed to regulatory compliance, having recently secured a coveted BitLicense from the New York Department of Financial Services, one of the most stringent regulatory bodies in the crypto industry.
