According to a report, the German administration Bitcoin holdings have been greatly decreased, which now stands at less than $1 billion. Researchers noted another important movement of funds associated with the administration’s wallet, indicating ongoing revenue of confiscated Bitcoins.
It is reported that 3,000 BTC, worth $176.26 million, were transferred to Flow Traders, a trading foundation. In total, 8,853.5 BTC worth $520.17 million were moved in a day. Presently, the German administration carries 15,110 BTC, equivalent to $883.7 million.
The last day saw the German administration execute several important transactions: 5,000 BTC worth $293.77 million were sent to commercial accounts, and 1,500 BTC ($88.31 million) were moved to an unknown address. These sales started last month, with Bitcoin being sold from a wallet worked by the Bundeskriminalamt (BKA), Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office.

Many analysts use the platform to path these transactions, speculating that the sales method may aim to mitigate confiscations and integrate digital companies into the economy. However, the German administration Bitcoin sales aren’t the only term concerning crypto investors. The demand is also under stress from the payout of billions of dollars’ worth of digital stock from the collapsed Mt. Gox exchange to its creditors.
Last Friday, Nobuaki Kobayashi, the trustee for the Mt. Gox bankruptcy estate declared the commencement of repayments in Bitcoin and Bitcoin Money to creditors through different designated crypto exchanges. The growth, along with transfers related to the U.S. administration, has led to fears of imminent large-scale sales, impacting over $20 billion value of cryptocurrency.
As of July 11, 2024, Bitcoin is trading at $57,200, a 1.75% decline in the last 24 hours, and over 15% lower than its worth 30 days ago.
Bernstein controlled a highly optimistic glimpse on Bitcoin’s future, projecting a cost target of $200,000 by 2025, $500,000 by 2029, and extended $1 million by 2033.
“We stay Bitcoin bulls,” the researcher wrote. They told this bullish outlook to Bitcoin’s unique market and supply dynamics, basically the four-year halving cycle. Bitcoin’s cost typically starts to increase months after the quadrennial halving, due to less latest BTC entering the market alongside developing sell pressure for miners.
The victory of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States bolstered Bernstein’s conviction.
“Presently, we know that ~80% of the ETF moves are still coming from self-directed retail investors via contractors platforms,” the news states, indicating important potential for institutional adoption.
