<p>Three weeks ago, the German government held 50,000 BTC worth nearly $3 billion. Then they started selling the asset and BTC corrected by roughly 18%.</p>
<p>As crypto.news <a href="https://crypto.news/germany-transfers-millions-in-bitcoin-to-various-wallets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported </a>earlier in June, the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) originally seized about 50,000 BTC from the operators of the popular piracy movie website Movie2k.to in 2013. The BKA obtained the Bitcoin in mid-January after receiving a “voluntary transfer” from the suspects. The BKA received the Bitcoin in the middle of January after the suspects made a “voluntary transfer.”</p>
<p>“Germany full stack dumping their seized BTC may go down as one of the biggest strategic blunders in history as soon as the next few decades,” <a href="https://x.com/WClementeIII/status/1811772883695247785" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">posted</a> William Clemente III, the co-founder of Reflexivity Research.&nbsp;</p>
