Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency, has recently seen a decrease in value, currently trading at $30,330, a drop of 1.07% as of Thursday.

On July 12, about 9,825.25 Bitcoins, which is nearly $299 million, were involved in these transactions. It's worth noting that the US government had previously declared its intention to sell the remaining Bitcoins, seized from the Silk Road, in multiple batches throughout the year.
