Tron blockchain founder Justin Sun recently made semi-jocular remarks on Twitter about Germany following its recent Bitcoin (BTC) sell-off in the country. The Sun jokingly suggested a link between Germany’s disappointing exit from the 2024 European Cup quarter-finals and their decision to “sell too much Bitcoin.” His comments resonated with other Twitter users and Bitcoin enthusiasts, some urging Germany to hold onto these assets long-term.
The news comes amid an ongoing sale of Bitcoin tokens from Germany, which began in late June and has so far totaled approximately 39,826 BTC, equivalent to X amount in euros as of July 6, 2024. Funds have been transferred to major exchanges including Bitstamp, Coinbase, and Kraken. According to data from Arkham Intelligence, Germany still holds around X number of Bitcoins.
