Bitcoin

The German government has continued its Bitcoin divestment, transferring an additional 400 BTC to major cryptocurrency exchanges. This is part of an ongoing series of sell-offs from an address linked to German authorities. Over the past few days, more than 2,500 BTC have been sold from this address, coinciding with current market tensions. The persistent nature of these sales indicates that the German government may not have concluded its Bitcoin liquidation efforts.

These transactions occurred in three notable batches: an initial <a href="https://coingape.com/bitcoin-whale-activity-germanys-3-billion-btc-holdings-on-radar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1,700 BTC</a> worth $110 million, followed by <a href="https://coingape.com/germany-govt-dumps-400-btc-to-coinbase-and-kraken/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">400 BTC</a> valued at $24.34 million, and <a href="https://coingape.com/german-govt-moves-another-595m-btc-to-crypto-exchanges/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">595 BTC</a> worth about $36.5 million prior to the most recent transaction. Despite these sell-offs, Germany’s Bitcoin holdings have appreciated significantly, now valued at $2.8 billion, including $961 million in unrealized profit. While some analysts have suggested these government sales as a factor in recent market volatility, the overall impact remains uncertain due to other influential market forces.
