Flow Traders, 139Po and bc1qu are the other platforms to receive Bitcoin from the Germany-linked wallets.

Given these movements, the German government’s wallet now holds 6,894 BTC, which at current Bitcoin price, is worth approximately $394.5 million. Having held 50,000 BTC just a few weeks ago, the reduced figure points to the massive dump that has taken place.

— Arkham (@ArkhamIntel) July 12, 2024 Exchanges have returned unsold BTC

Despite sending $154 million in BTC to exchanges on Friday morning, German authorities have also received coins back from exchanges. Arkham data shows exchanges returned a total of 4,669 BTC on Thursday and Friday morning – likely representing unsold BTC.

In this case, Coinbase, Kraken and Bitstamp have all returned bitcoins. This could be due to the digital assets remaining unsold as per agreements with the German authorities.

Before the exchanges resend the crypto back, data showed only 4,925 BTC remained in German government wallets. At that time, the country held just 9.9% of the 50,000 bitcoins it had before they started selling.
