PANews reported on May 15th that according to CoinDesk, Anchorage Digital CEO Nathan McCauley refuted reports at the Consensus 2025 conference in Toronto that the company was under investigation by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), calling such reports "pure nonsense". Previously, Barron's had reported that the DHS anti-money laundering working group was contacting the company's former employees to understand its business operations. McCauley stated that the company has confirmed through lawyers that no investigation exists.
Anchorage Digital is known for its strict compliance, having just obtained the BitLicense from the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) in December last year, which is one of the most difficult regulatory permits in the crypto industry.
