On July 30, the US government sold 30,000 Bitcoins?

The U.S. government cryptocurrency wallet is missing 30,000 Bitcoins, especially shortly after former President Trump announced that the government would use Bitcoin as a strategic reserve.

According to CoinDesk, the U.S. government previously sold 9,861 Bitcoins in March for $216 million. The Bitcoins were originally assets associated with the infamous Silk Road market, where the government seized a total of 50,000 Bitcoins in November 2023.

Blockworks pointed out that the total number of Bitcoins transferred this time exceeded 30,100. These Bitcoins are related to the Silk Road hacking incident and have been controlled by the U.S. Department of Justice. It is reported that the Bitcoins were transferred to a Coinbase wallet.

Bitcoin Magazine further reported that the U.S. government conducted a test transaction of 0.001 BTC before conducting this massive sale. This test transaction is to confirm the safety and reliability of large transfers.

The sale contrasts with Trump's previous statements. Trump has said that the government will retain these Bitcoins as a strategic reserve. However, the sale suggests the government may have changed its cryptocurrency reserve strategy.

The impact of this incident on the market has not yet fully emerged, but it is foreseeable that it will have a certain impact on Bitcoin prices and market confidence. As the cryptocurrency market continues to develop, government policy changes will continue to be the focus of market attention.

Overall, the U.S. government’s move to sell Bitcoin once again emphasizes the volatility of the cryptocurrency market and policy uncertainty. Investors need to pay close attention to possible future policy changes in order to adjust investment strategies in a timely manner.
