Over the last two weeks, the German government has been constantly selling its Bitcoin holdings which is partly the reason behind the recent Bitcoin selling pressure. The Bitcoin price has tanked 4.5% further slipping all the way to the $57,500 level. As the BTC correction continues to bleed investors’ portfolios, Tron’s Justin Sun has come up with an offer for the German government.
Justin Sun Makes New Offer to the German Government
In his latest tweet on X platform, Justin Sun expressed willingness to engage in negotiations with the German government to acquire all of their Bitcoin holdings off-market. This proposal from Sun aims to minimize the market disruptions that could arise from further sale of BTC by the German government.
Sun’s initiative underscores efforts to prevent substantial price volatility in the cryptocurrency market. Discussions are anticipated to explore terms that could facilitate a smooth transfer of the government’s BTC holdings to private hands, potentially affecting market dynamics.

Earlier today, the German government dumped an additional 1300 BTC to three crypto exchanges – Kraken, Coinbase, and Bitstamp. In the last 15 days, the government has dumped almost 9,641 Bitcoins bringing its total holdings to now at 40,359 BTC. This means that the government has eroded 18% of its Bitcoin holdings.
However, the German government hasn’t come up with an official statement yet explaining the reason behind the sale. If the government continues selling at this pace, it may exhaust all of its BTC holdings by the end of September.
