In July, Germany sold confiscated bitcoins, leading to potentially lost profits in the billions.

Bitcoin Sales by Germany

In July, Germany sold 49,991 bitcoins confiscated during a criminal investigation against the Movie2k website. The assets were sold when Bitcoin was approximately $53,000, and the country received about $2.8 billion from the sales. With Bitcoin's price rising to $90,000, those holdings would be worth around $4.5 billion, indicating a missed profit of $1.7 billion.

Impact of Missed Profits

The German authorities sold off the Bitcoin assets between June 19th and July 12th. When initially confiscated in January, Bitcoin was valued at $43,000, which provided Germany a good profit when sold in July at $53,000. However, the further increase to $90,000 indicated a potential revenue of $4.5 billion, $1.7 billion more than what the country actually gained.

Bitcoin Price Surge

Bitcoin recently surged by 53% within the last 60 days. The rally was partly induced by new hope following the re-election of Donald Trump as President of the USA. As of press time, BTC was trading at $87,443, showing a 6.34% increase over the previous day.

Germany's missed profit highlights the impact of timing on cryptocurrency earnings and its potential effects on the economy.
