This reduction has brought Germany’s Bitcoin holdings to 18,110 Bitcoins, now valued at $1.06 billion.<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/b83c73a98df44abeb178233418e8ab6b.png" /><h3 id="german-government-sells-large-bitcoin-holdings">German Government Sells Large Bitcoin Holdings</h3>Earlier today, the German government started selling its Bitcoin holdings in large numbers, moving them across crypto exchanges and other wallets. According to data from Arkham Intelligence, the government transferred a massive 1,250 BTC to popular <a href="https://cryptosheadlines.com/krakens-strategic-move-hiring-executive-from-competing-crypto-exchange/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto exchanges Kraken</a> and Coinbase.Shortly after, the government moved a total of 536.108 BTC to Cumberland DRW, 1,127.281 BTC to Flow Traders, and 2,000 BTC to the suspected B2C2 Group at address 139PoP…H7ybVu.

In the last 20 days, the government has sold off a massive 32,000 Bitcoins from its holdings since mid-June. This selling spree has also led to significant selling pressure on Bitcoin, which fell to a four-month low earlier this week on Monday, July 8.<h3 id="bitcoin-holds-firm-amid-german-government-s-selling">Bitcoin Holds Firm Amid German Government’s Selling</h3>After today’s substantial selling by the German government, Bitcoin has managed to maintain its price stability, currently trading 1.49% higher at $58,542 with a market cap of $1.1154 trillion.<a href="https://cryptosheadlines.com/bitcoin-jumps-5-can-bulls-regain-control/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Also Read: Bitcoin Jumps 5%: Can Bulls Regain Control?</a>Significant sales and movements of assets to exchanges can typically dampen market sentiment.
