Yes, to some people. There are people who want bitcoin but are concerned about their sats being tagged as used in crimes by chainalysis. Some of them also don't care about KYC history of the coins they hold. To the overlap of that venn diagram, getting the coins straight from the US government is a perfect washing clean by their standard.

It doesn't tickle my fancy, but I can prove someone thinks they are special sats. Look up historical sale prices of #bitcoin at government auctions and compare to spot price that sale day. Auction coins usually fetch a significant premium to spot.
