The German government has moved over 3,000 Bitcoin in the last hour, tallying the total BTC volume in the last 24 hours to a five-figure sum.

The transactions continue the Bitcoin ( BTC ) sell-off trend set by the German government last week despite parliamentary members like the German lawmaker and BTC activist Joana Cotar’s urging them to "refrain" from doing so.

Cotar urged the government to stop its "hasty disposal of state-owned Bitcoin" and instead adopt a "strategic reserve currency” to shield itself against the risks of the traditional system.
