‘$1 Million Bitcoin’ Advocate Samson Mow Confirms No 10,000 BTC Dump by US

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I’ve learned to read between the lines and navigate through the storm of speculation that often accompanies significant market events. The recent transfer of 10,000 BTC by U.S. authorities to Coinbase Prime has indeed sparked a flurry of excitement and apprehension within the crypto community.


Today, a stir was caused among crypto experts and those who invest in blockchain transactions, as it was disclosed that U.S. officials moved 10,000 Bitcoins, valued at approximately $593 million, to the Coinbase Prime platform. In response, the value of Bitcoin dipped to around $58,000 momentarily and dropped even lower.

It was discovered through the blockchain’s historical records that those were cryptocurrencies associated with the notorious darknet marketplace known as Silk Road. A court ruling authorizing their seizure took effect in December 2023.

As a cryptocurrency investor, when I transfer my assets to an exchange’s escrow address, it usually signals my intention to sell those digital coins. This practice has been causing concern within the crypto community, particularly given the recent news about Germany and its $3 billion Bitcoin reserves.

No, the USG didn’t just sell 10,000 coins. It *moved* coins to Coinbase (just like they did a few weeks ago) for custody.

Samson Mow, a notable figure in the cryptocurrency world who advocates for the theory that Bitcoin could one day be worth $1 million, stepped forward to address any concerns about the U.S. government acquiring 10,000 Bitcoins. However, according to Mow, this isn’t accurate. Instead, he states that these specific Bitcoins were transferred there for secure storage a few weeks prior, as explained by the expert.

As a crypto investor, I’ve recently learned that on July 1st, Coinbase Institutional was chosen by the U.S. Marshals Service to manage their large-cap digital assets portfolio, offering custody and advanced trading services. Yet, there’s still much uncertainty about the specific processes involved when tokens are transferred onto centralized platforms.
