The most recent trades continue a trend that began two weeks ago. The government delivered $17.6 million worth of bitcoin to exchange accounts on Tuesday. According to the statistics, the German government has now sent more than $300 million worth of bitcoin to the “139Po” account and recognized exchange addresses. At the moment, the government owns 40,359 bitcoin, which is valued at $2.32 billion.

Cryptocurrency traders are keeping a tight eye on US and German government actions as well as compensation updates from the now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange Mt. Gox.
