Earlier, Bitcoin Magazine CEO David Bailey accused the US government of wasting bitcoins. According to him, the country’s first cryptocurrency reserve should have exceeded 400,000 BTC, but instead, Democrats sold a significant portion of the assets at a reduced price.
Bailey reported that the US government sold “187,078 BTC worth $12.5 billion for a paltry $282 million” at an unspecified time.
Bundestag member Joanna Kotar criticized the German government for selling Bitcoin and called such actions counterproductive. She called on Chancellor Olaf Scholz to reconsider the position.
According to analysts at Lookonchain, since June 19, the US and German governments, as well as Mt.Gox, have transferred a combined 17,788 BTC worth about $1.08 billion.
