出售比特币的不是德国。它是它的州之一，它别无选择。

自一月份没收价值近 30 亿美元的比特币以来，德国萨克森州已出售了一半以上最初持有的比特币，导致市场陷入困境。

Germany's state of Saxony has sold over half of its bitcoin (BTC) holdings, which were confiscated earlier this year. The state's Criminal Police Office (LKA) seized 49,857 bitcoin (currently valued at almost $3 billion) from the operator of Movie2k.to, a website found guilty of money laundering and other illegal activities.

德国萨克森州已经出售了一半以上的比特币（BTC）资产，这些比特币是今年早些时候被没收的。该州刑事警察局 (LKA) 从 Movie2k.to 的运营商处查获了 49,857 个比特币（目前价值近 30 亿美元），该网站被判犯有洗钱和其他非法活动罪。

The crypto wallet, which belongs to the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), started moving thousands of BTC to exchanges including Kraken, Coinbase and Bitstamp about a week ago. The wallet's bitcoin holdings have since decreased to 23,788.

该加密钱包隶属于德国联邦刑事警察局（BKA），大约一周前开始将数千枚比特币转移到 Kraken、Coinbase 和 Bitstamp 等交易所。此后，该钱包的比特币持有量已减少至 23,788 枚。

Reactions on social media have been largely negative.

社交媒体上的反应大多是负面的。

"Germany selling all their #Bitcoin will go down as one of the most retarded things their politicians ever did," wrote one X user.

一位 X 用户写道：“德国出售所有#Bitcoin 将成为他们的政客做过的最愚蠢的事情之一。”

"Germany's govt officials are literal idiots," wrote another.

另一位网友写道：“德国政府官员简直就是白痴。”

However, an expert has stated that the mass sale of bitcoin is not a poor investment strategy, but rather a standard procedure for assets confiscated in criminal investigations.

然而，一位专家表示，大规模出售比特币并不是一种糟糕的投资策略，而是刑事调查中没收资产的标准程序。

"The general prosecutor's office of Saxony is responsible for liquidating confiscated assets, and the sell-off is hardly surprising," said Dr. Lennart Ante, co-founder and CEO of German-based Blockchain Research Lab. "Seized assets are always liquidated within a certain period. This is a routine business process, although at a larger-than-normal scale."

德国区块链研究实验室联合创始人兼首席执行官 Lennart Ante 博士表示：“萨克森州总检察长办公室负责清算没收的资产，此次抛售并不令人意外。” “扣押的资产总是会在一定期限内变现。这是一个常规的业务流程，尽管规模比正常情况要大。”

Ante speculated that the reason for the wallet belonging to the BKA – and not Saxony itself – is likely because the police agency was involved in the initial investigation and had the technical expertise to handle such a large amount of bitcoin.

Ante推测，钱包之所以属于BKA——而不是萨克森州本身——很可能是因为警察机构参与了初步调查，并且拥有处理如此大量比特币的技术专长。

According to Ante, the BKA does not have decision-making power and acts solely on instructions from the state.

安特表示，BKA没有决策权，仅根据国家指示行事。

In most cases, confiscated assets can only be transferred or sold with the proceeds going to the state budget once a judge rules that the state is allowed to do so, which is not the case in this particular situation. However, states can request to initiate an emergency sale, which could be issued if the asset's value might quickly lose value or is difficult to store, for example.

在大多数情况下，只有在法官裁定国家允许这样做时，才可以转移或出售被没收的资产，所得收益将归入国家预算，但在这种特殊情况下并非如此。然而，各州可以请求启动紧急出售，例如，如果资产的价值可能很快贬值或难以存储，则可以进行紧急出售。

"In the case of bitcoin, this could at least be argued on the grounds of volatility," said Ante.

“就比特币而言，这至少可以以波动性为由进行争论，”安特说。

There is some evidence, however, that Saxony is attempting to sell too much bitcoin at once. On Tuesday, it received $200 million back from some of the exchanges, possibly indicating that there was not enough demand to buy such a large sum.

然而，有一些证据表明萨克森州正试图立即出售过多的比特币。周二，它从一些交易所收到了 2 亿美元的退款，这可能表明没有足够的需求来购买如此大的金额。
