<p class="is-style-lead">Bitcoin’s market price stabilized as Germany’s government shredded its BTC holdings from over 50,000 coins to under 23,000 tokens.&nbsp;</p>
<p>According to on-chain insight provider <a href="https://platform.arkhamintelligence.com/explorer/entity/germany" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Arkham Intelligence</a>, Germany’s government transferred 6,306.9 Bitcoin (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) valued at over $362 million to several entities, including centralized exchange Kraken, on Tuesday. Kraken received 800 BTC worth $45.9 million, while market makers B2C2 Group and Cumberland DRW were sent $287.1 million and $6.2 million in Bitcoin, respectively.&nbsp;</p>
<p>A fourth address marked as “unlabeled”, likely an OTC desk, was sent 400 BTC or around $24 million in crypto. When Germany moved to liquidate BTC on Monday and last week, the asset’s market price usually declined.</p>
<p>However, BTC was unfazed by the selling pressure this time and maintained its level above $57,000 at press time.</p>

<p><a href="https://crypto.news/?s=german" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">German authorities</a> started sending BTC to exchanges and trading venues last week after seizing some 50,000 tokens from the illegal film site Movie2k in January. The largest single-day transfers occurred on Monday, when Germany moved 16,000 Bitcoin, or $866 million, to addresses identified as exchanges and other institutional counterparties.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The reverse has also happened, as platforms like Bitstamp, Coinbase, and Kraken have returned millions in BTC to German state-controlled wallets.&nbsp;So far, the exchanges have sent over $300 million in BTC back to Germany. The leading theory behind the return suggests platforms could not liquidate the crypto within agreed price ranges.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Following the latest transfer on Tuesday, Arkham noted that Germany still holds around 22,847 BTC worth over $1.3 billion.&nbsp;</p>
