Despite this transfer, the government still retains a substantial 39,826 BTC, worth an estimated $2.15 billion. This move initially triggered bearish sentiment among cryptocurrency enthusiasts on social media platforms. The recent transfer is part of a larger trend. In the past 19 days since June 19, the German government has moved a total of 11,032.3 BTC, valued at approximately $668.2 million. 
Just in the last week, 7,970 BTC (worth about $462 million) were transferred to major exchanges. These transactions, combined with the announcement of repayments to <a href="https://coingape.com/mt-gox-starts-repaying-creditors-bitcoin-to-dip-further/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mt. Gox creditors</a> contributed to a market downturn that saw asset prices drop to multi-month lows. Bitcoin’s price briefly dipped below $55,000 before stabilizing in the $55,000-$56,000 range.

The German government’s Bitcoin sales have sparked various reactions. <a href="https://coingape.com/tron-justin-sun-ready-to-negotiate-with-german-govt-on-bitcoin-sales/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Justin Sun</a>, founder of Tron, offered to purchase BTC from the German government off-market to mitigate the negative impact on spot prices. Some observers view Germany’s BTC sales as a strategic misstep that could potentially weaken the country’s geopolitical position. German lawmaker Joana Cotar has voiced opposition to these sales, urging the government to instead use these digital assets to diversify its treasury holdings.
