"The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) offers property for sale to the public which has been forfeited under laws enforced or administered by the United States Department of Justice, its investigative agencies (Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms), and certain other federal law enforcement agencies. "

My guess here is that bitcoin is considered property and not currency, and there are laws around this.

Edit: Looks like they are treating bitcoin as property -https://www.usmarshals.gov/foia/directives/asset_forfeiture....
