FBI Logs One Million Complaints as Losses Tied to Crypto Complaints Reach $11.4 Billion

President Donald J. Trump held a White House roundtable Wednesday, Oct. 21, on protecting families and seniors from cybercrime, as the FBI’s 2025 tally linked 181,565 cryptocurrency-related complaints to $11.4 billion in reported losses.

The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) logged 1,008,597 complaints during 2025, a 17% increase from 859,532 in 2024. Frequently reported categories included phishing and spoofing, extortion and investment schemes.

About 453,000 complaints involved cyber-enabled fraud. Those complaints carried reported losses exceeding $17.7 billion.

Cryptocurrency-related complaints were tied to $11.366 billion in reported losses, or about $11.4 billion when rounded. They had the highest reported losses among the complaint categories. The total also appears in a previous breakdown of crypto-related losses.

Trump’s March executive order directed officials to review ways to combat transnational criminal organizations involved in cyber-enabled crime and predatory schemes. It also directed the attorney general to prioritize prosecutions of cyber-enabled fraud and scam schemes. An earlier international crackdown led to 28 arrests in an operation targeting online fraud networks.
