Inventory Act of 2026

This bill would require federal agencies that seize or collect electronic devices and data to scan them for cryptocurrency private keys and other digital assets and to secure any assets found. Within 180 days, the Attorney General would issue a binding directive to all federal agencies and would develop technical standards and training on finding, storing, and tracking digital assets. Each agency would conduct an annual digital asset audit and report the findings to the Attorney General and congressional committees. Inspectors General and the Government Accountability Office would also review agency compliance. The bill would allow the Justice and Treasury forfeiture funds to pay for digital forensic tools needed to carry out the law.
