$BTC is facing fresh uncertainty after the U.S. government moved 12,267 BTC worth $1.01B linked to the 2016 Bitfinex hack. The move followed other government-linked transfers involving Coinbase Prime, while Bitcoin ETFs recorded $729M in outflows over two days. With BTC touching $80.4K, a confirmed sale could increase selling pressure. However, the transfer alone doesn’t confirm liquidation. The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve adds another layer, as qualifying government BTC is intended to be held as a reserve asset, subject to exceptions. Watch the $83K level and potential downside toward $77K. The next clue is where those coins move, not just the size of the transfer.
