Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff has predicted that the US Govt. under President Joe Biden will sell all of its Bitcoin holdings.

Peter Schiff Says US Govt Will Sell All Its Bitcoin Holdings

The recent transfer of $2 billion in Bitcoin, seized from the infamous Silk Road marketplace, has stirred speculation about a potential selloff. Schiff, a long-time Bitcoin skeptic, believes this move signals the US government, under President Biden, intent to liquidate its Bitcoin holdings.

Meanwhile, Peter Schiff believes the Biden administration will sell all seized Bitcoin to prevent a potential Trump presidency from utilizing it for a US strategic reserve. He suggests that if Trump had truly intended to create such a reserve, he would have kept it secret until taking office.

Now, he claims, that the US govt is aware of Trump’s plan and will liquidate the entire Bitcoin holdings before Trump can potentially take office. This move would thwart Trump’s alleged plan and raise questions about the government’s stance on cryptocurrency.

Meanwhile, Trump’s declaration of Bitcoin as a strategic reserve marked a significant shift in government policy towards cryptocurrency. His announcement was seen as a bullish signal for the Bitcoin market.

However, the subsequent movement of the seized assets has cast doubt on the future of this strategy. Critics argue that the current administration’s actions could undermine the potential benefits of holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset.

Market Reacts Amid Soaring Speculations

The Bitcoin market has been closely monitoring the US government’s actions. The transfer of such a substantial amount of Bitcoin has raised concerns about potential market impacts. A large-scale selloff could lead to significant price volatility, affecting investor sentiment and market stability.

In addition, Schiff’s prediction has added to these concerns, as he is known for his critical stance on BTC and his influence in financial circles. The broader crypto community remains divided on the implications of the government’s actions.

Some believe that the US government’s potential selloff could be an opportunity for institutional investors to acquire Bitcoin at a lower price. Others fear that it could signal a bearish trend for the cryptocurrency market.

On the other hand, Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart says that the recent transfer could be linked to the US Marshals Services deal with Coinbase. Despite the discussions, the situation highlights the evolving relationship between governments and digital assets.
