They are obligated to keep a record of your withdrawals. In EU, we are asked by a pop-up asking are we sending to ourselves or someone else.
Whatever you do with your non-strike wallet, they can't see nothing. They only know you withdrawal this amount and that you confirmed you send it to yourself. If the government is on you, you might need to prove where those funds were spend.
