The U.S. Department of Justice is cleared to sell 69,000 BTC - worth over $6 billion.
With Glassnode, you can track
government-held Bitcoin wallets and estimate the potential market impact if this kind of sell-side pressure occurs.
Putting it in perspective
In
July 2024, the German government sold
56,000 BTC, but instead of collapsing, the market rallied from
$53k to
$68k.
However, past large inflows have had different results:
🔸 March 2021: 70.5k BTC inflows, NUPL at
0.72 (Euphoria/Greed)—short correction, then recovery.
🔹 June 2022: 68.7k BTC inflows, NUPL at
0.21 (Capitulation)—a prolonged bear market followed.
Bottom line: Market reactions depend heavily on
where we are in the cycle.
With Glassnode’s
US Government Balance metric, you can set alerts to be notified when coins move - helping you stay ahead of potential sell-offs.
