    <p>Yahoo Finance highlighted that the US government has been actively seizing and moving Bitcoin related to the Silk Road. In late 2022, they seized approximately 50,000 Bitcoin, and the latest significant transfer occurred on April 2, 2024, when $2 billion worth of Bitcoin was moved, impacting the market price.</p>
    <h2 id="strong-impact-on-bitcoin-price-strong"><strong>Impact on Bitcoin Price</strong></h2>
    <p>The movement of seized Bitcoin by the US government has notably affected Bitcoin’s price. The latest transfer caused Bitcoin to drop to a low of $60,800. Even with attempts to recover from previous slumps, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies like Ether experienced declines following the news.</p>
    <p>Nevertheless, the impact of this new development seems to trigger a slight positive trend for the BTC price. According to the latest update from CoinMarketCap, Bitcoin (BTC) is priced at <strong>$61,329.52</strong>, showing a modest increase of <span style="color: #008000;"><strong>0.09%</strong></span> in the past day and a decrease of <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>6.69%</strong></span> in the past week.
