Germany’s government has moved over 900 Bitcoins in two separate transactions, firstly 400 Bitcoin worth nearly $25 million deposited&nbsp; into two different crypto exchanges, Kraken and Coinbase, This comes after they deposited a total of nearly <a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-whale-activity-germanys-3-billion-btc-holdings-on-radar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1,700 Bitcoins</a> to three different crypto exchanges few days back. 
The other 500 bitcoin was later transfered&nbsp; to an unknown wallet address. This substantial movement of Bitcoin by a governmental body has sparked intense interest and speculation within the cryptocurrency landscape as bitcoin whale activity in recent times has gone up immensely in what seems to be a tussle between bulls and the bears.

Blockchain monitoring service Arkham reported that the <a rel="nofollow" href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/entity/germany" target="_blank">German Government</a> split the 400 BTC transfer between Coinbase and Kraken, depositing 200 BTC to each exchange at 15:38 UTC+8. The total value of this transfer totalled to $24.34 million. This move follows last week’s larger deposit of 1,700 Bitcoins, valued at $110 million, which the government distributed among Kraken, Coinbase, and Bitstamp. 
Arkham monitoring has also just reported that the German government has again moved 500 bitcoins. The transfer, worth about $30.42 million, was sent to the address <a rel="nofollow" href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/address/139PoPE1bKQam8QJjhVjYDP47f3VH7ybVu" target="_blank">139Po…bVu</a>. Although the details of the receiving address is yet unknown, the increased rate of outflow from the German wallet is undoubtedly one to take note of. 
Recent data indicates that Germany’s Bitcoin holdings have grown significantly in value, now worth $2.82 billion, including $1.1 billion in unrealized profit. This sell-off by the German government, combined with large outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs and other market factors, may be contributing to the current selling pressure that has pushed the Bitcoin price below $60,000.

<h2 id="market-reactions-and-price-fluctuations">Market Reactions and Price Fluctuations</h2> 
<a href="https://coingape.com/price/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin’s price</a> recently dropped by 1.07%, trading at $60,728.75. The token fluctuated between $61,581.70 and $60,301.83 over the past 24 hours. This decline coincides with $174.5 million in outflows from Bitcoin ETFs on June 24, according to Farside data. The cryptocurrency’s market dominance decreased by 0.68% to 53.44%, with its overall market cap falling to $1.21 trillion. 
While the German government has been selling off its Bitcoin holdings, other major investors are buying during price dips. On June 20, Michael Saylor’s <a href="https://coingape.com/breaking-microstrategy-scoops-11931-bitcoins-using-800-million-convertible-note-proceeds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MicroStrategy</a> announced it had purchased an additional 11,931 Bitcoin using proceeds from $800 million in convertible notes. This contrasting behavior highlights the diverse strategies and confidence levels among different types of investors within the cryptocurrency market.
