Data from <a href="https://subscription.cointelegraph.com/?_gl=1*7499wx*_ga*MTQ0MzQ0NzI4Ny4xNzE2MzY1NTA0*_ga_53R24TEEB1*MTcxNjM2NTUwNC4xLjEuMTcxNjM2Njg2MC4wLjAuMA.." rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cointelegraph Markets Pro</a> and <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/symbols/BTCUSD/?exchange=BINANCE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TradingView</a> showed BTC/USD struggling to hold the prior day’s gains after the Wall Street open.
Uncertain BTC price behavior came as news spread of coins from a wallet known to belong to the U.S. establishment were sent to exchange Coinbase.
According to data from crypto intelligence firm <a href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/entity/usg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Arkham</a>, the total involved was 3,940 BTC ($240 million).
“There's typically two options here,” popular trader Skew wrote in part of a <a href="https://x.com/52kskew/status/1806012622913020189" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reaction</a> on X (formerly Twitter).
<blockquote>
 “- OTC desks can auction off the BTC to clients (off market buyers) - open market auction (sold over time on the market).”
</blockquote>

Skew subsequently said that the market reaction had been comparatively subdued.
“Some shorts opening expecting supply to hit the market but other than that mostly longs closing out,” he <a href="https://x.com/52kskew/status/1806015482392449306" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">commented</a> about the status quo on order books.
The U.S. government wallet still contained more than 213,500 BTC ($13 billion) at the time of writing.
The move joined a similar one by Germany, which the week prior <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/germany-btc-sell-arkham-wallet" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">transferred 6,500 BTC</a> from its wallet. 900 BTC was sold on June 25, <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/german-gov-sells-900-bitcoin-400-btc-coinbase-kraken" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Cointelegraph reported</a>.
The timing of the combined sell-off did not escape the attention of market observers, with Travis Kling, head of crypto hedge fund Ikigai, describing it as “interesting.”

“Why are multiple governments selling their BTC? Starting to look co-ordinated…,” crypto entrepreneur Vinny Lingham <a href="https://x.com/VinnyLingham/status/1806012913813279033" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">added</a>.
William Clemente, co-founder of crypto research firm Reflexivity, suggested that largescale distribution by Bitcoin whales in recent weeks could have occurred with the government moves in mind.
"My guess is a lot of recent selling over last few weeks was whales frontrunning these selling headlines &amp; explains crypto's relative weakness to stocks," he <a href="https://x.com/WClementeIII/status/1806022843907326199" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">told</a> X subscribers.
<blockquote>
 "I hope I'm not speaking too soon, but if Germany/US/Gox are all selling/telegraphing selling, who's on the other end buying?"<a href="https://x.com/WClementeIII/status/1806022843907326199" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"></a>
