🔷 Justin Sun, advisor to the HTX exchange (formerly Huobi) and founder of the TRON project, has expressed his willingness to negotiate with the German government to purchase all of its Bitcoin holdings. On July 4, 2024, the country’s authorities sold crypto assets worth $173 million.
🔷 The exact origin of the funds in the German government’s crypto wallet is unknown. However, in January 2024, authorities confiscated 50,000 BTC as part of a case involving the illegal distribution of digital content. Notably, analysts from Arkham Intelligence previously estimated Justin Sun’s net worth at $1 billion.
🔷 Following the news of the asset sale from the German government’s wallet, the price of Bitcoin briefly dropped below $57,000, but later partially recovered.
