Regarding the transfer of 10,000 BTC from the U.S. government to Coinbase, Major Jason Lowery of the U.S. Space Force stated on X: "This is a huge strategic mistake. The U.S. has no reasonable price to sell any Bitcoin it controls. It's clear they don't know what they have." Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong responded: "I agree, I think the U.S. government should never sell Bitcoin." Previously, according to Arkham data, the U.S. government marked the transfer of 19,800 BTC to a new wallet, of which 10,000 BTC (approximately $968 million) was transferred to Coinbase.
