It continues to hold roughly $2.3 billion worth of Bitcoin ,meaning that the battered cryptocurrency market could still face a lot of selling pressure.

 

German MP Advocates Bitcoin as Reserve Currency Amid Government Sell-off.

 

However, the recent transfers come after Joana Cotar ,an independent member of German parliament urged the government to stop liquidating the remaining Bitcoin holdings. She urged the government to consider adopting Bitcoin as a strategic reserve currency.

 

Cotar emphasised that selling such large quantities of Bitcoin is counterproductive and could negatively impact the markets stability.Her arguments however fell on deaf ears as the government is still on the massive selling spree.

German authorities recently seized a substantial amount of bitcoin ,estimated to be worth approximately $2.1 billion ,in connection with an online piracy group.

 

This seizure involved around 50,000 bitcoins and is one of the largest of its kind in Germany .The suspects ,who were allegedly involved in running a piracy website until 2013 ,voluntarily transferred the bitcoin to the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA).
