Bitcoin Price Crashes as US Government Transfers $2 Billion Worth of BTC

As a seasoned crypto investor with over a decade of experience in this volatile market, I’ve seen my fair share of price crashes and government interventions. Today’s news of the Bitcoin price crash to $67,000 is nothing new to me, but the source of this latest sell-off has raised some eyebrows.


Based on information from Bitstamp, the value of Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization, has plummeted to approximately $67,000.

After the US government moved approximately $2 billion into Bitcoin, as indicated by information from Arkham Intelligence, a significant drop in price ensued.

The coins that were recently moved by the U.S. government were confiscated from Silk Road. 

Based on my extensive experience in following and analyzing the cryptocurrency market, I must admit that today was a rollercoaster ride for Bitcoin investors. The digital currency reached a significant milestone by almost touching the $70,000 mark earlier in the day, instilling hope and excitement among the community.

Unfortunately, my expectations were confirmed as the bulls faced yet another setback, leaving investors feeling disappointed and uncertain about the future direction of Bitcoin’s price trend.

Among global authorities, the United States holds the greatest quantity of Bitcoin at approximately $13.9 billion. Following closely is China’s government, which possesses roughly $13 billion worth of this cryptocurrency.
