Blockchain data compiled by analytics firm Arkham shows the German government sold 49,858 Bitcoin in 2024 for about $2.89 billion, realising an average price of roughly $57,900 per coin. With Bitcoin trading near $116,000 on 11 July 2025, that same stake would now be valued at approximately $5.64 billion, implying Germany missed out on as much as $2.7–$3.1 billion in potential profit.
