Section 215AA(2)

A magistrates’ court may by order authorise an appropriate officer to destroy the cryptoassets if— a confiscation order is made against the person by whom the cryptoassets are held, a receiver has not been appointed under section 198 in relation to the cryptoassets, and either— it is not reasonably practicable to realise the cryptoassets, or there are reasonable grounds to believe that the realisation of the cryptoassets would be contrary to the public interest, having regard in particular to how likely it is that the entry of the cryptoassets into general circulation would facilitate criminal conduct by any person.
