In recent days, the German government has made headlines in the cryptocurrency world with its <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/bitcoin-attempts-to-reach-18-month-highs-amidst-volatility-in-futures-market/" data-wpel-link="internal">Bitcoin</a> (BTC) sales. According to recent data, the German government has recently transferred large amounts of BTC to various centralized exchanges and platforms, including Bitstamp, Kraken, Coinbase, B2C2 Group, and another wallet address believed to be associated with an institution or over-the-counter (OTC) service. 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="strong-2-375-bitcoins-transferred-recently-strong">2,375 Bitcoins Transferred Recently</h2> 
On-chain <a href="https://newslinker.co/category/ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="exclude">data shows</a> that German authorities transferred 375 BTC each to Bitstamp, Kraken, and Coinbase exchanges, totaling approximately 1,125 BTC worth around $65.5 million. Additionally, approximately 1,000 BTC worth $58.2 million were transferred to a wallet identified by Arkham as belonging to the B2C2 group. Lastly, around 250 BTC worth $14.6 million were moved to a corporate deposit address, presumably an OTC service. 
These transfers follow a pattern observed yesterday when the German government moved 10,853 BTC, worth approximately $637.7 million at the time, to similar entities. Interestingly, the government reclaimed about 2,422 BTC worth around $142 million last night. These returned BTC are believed to be part of a sales agreement where unsold coins are returned. 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="strong-all-seized-bitcoins-to-be-converted-to-fiat-currency-strong">All Seized Bitcoins to Be Converted to Fiat Currency</h2> 
The ongoing sale of seized BTC indicates that the German government aims to convert all confiscated Bitcoins into fiat currency. The systematic transfer of BTC to multiple exchanges and OTC services suggests a planned and controlled sale to minimize market impact and secure favorable selling conditions.

However, developments such as the return of unsold BTC show the flexibility of the sales process, which depends on <a href="https://finance.coin-turk.com/" data-wpel-link="exclude">market conditions</a> and agreements with purchasing entities. 
These Bitcoin transfers are part of a broader strategy by the German government to dispose of 50,000 BTC seized from the now-defunct movie piracy website Movie2K. This approach has faced criticism from Joana Cotar, a member of the German Federal Parliament and a Bitcoin advocate, who labeled the strategy as “inefficient.” Cotar’s criticism is based on concerns about the potential market impact and the future potential value loss of the held BTC.
