Most Bitcoin is being transmitted to centralized exchanges, which suggests that the government may be interested in selling it, in addition to being transferred to untagged wallets. Before the transfer, the wallet had roughly 50,000 BTC since February 2024. The funds are suspected to have been confiscated from the Movie2k pirated movie website's owner. However, the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange Mt. Gox's announcement that it will begin repaying its defunct users may result in additional Bitcoin selling pressure in July. Approximately 127,000 Mt. Gox creditors are owed over $9.4 billion in Bitcoin and have been awaiting their funds for over a decade, which could generate substantial selling pressure for Bitcoin.
