U.S. government loses $116 million from early Bitcoin sales

As of early March this year, the U.S. government had sold 9,861 Bitcoins, pocketing nearly $216 million. Seven months ago, when the U.S. government sold Bitcoin, the price was around $20,000 to $22,000. Fast forward to today, #BTC is hovering at the $34,000 mark and attracting bullish sentiment from the index.

If the U.S. government sold its Bitcoin trove today, it could make $322 million, with BTC priced at $34,000. As a result, the government lost $116 million by selling Bitcoin earlier.
