On July 12, the government <a href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/entity/germany" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">sent</a> 2,700 BTC (worth $153 million) to platforms like Coinbase, Bitstamp, Kraken, and the same unknown address and two other addresses “guzr4j” and “bc1qu.”
These Bitcoins originated from a seizure linked to a film piracy website in January. Since mid-June, the government has been gradually liquidating its holdings of 50,000 BTC, accelerating sales in early July.
The decision to divest all Bitcoin holdings has drawn criticism from Joana Cotar, a German lawmaker and Bitcoin advocate, who <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/07/05/joana-cotar-urges-german-government-to-halt-bitcoin-sales/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">argued</a> that the cryptocurrency could have been retained as a strategic reserve against traditional financial risks.
This significant sell-off, coupled with concerns over potential Bitcoin releases by Mt. Gox to its creditors, has contributed to market instability. The Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index has entered the “Extreme Fear” zone, with Bitcoin currently trading at $57,596, reflecting a 0.44% decline in the last 24 hours according to <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinMarketCap.</a>
