The US government has filed a notice to sell almost $130 million worth of Bitcoins seized from the Silk Road darknet marketplace. The sale will be in two lots, with one lot consisting of 2874 BTC valued at $129 million and the other lot consisting of 58 BTC worth $3.3 million. Individuals, excluding defendants, have 60 days from January 10 to assert an interest in the forfeited property via an ancillary petition. The US government's sale of these Bitcoins could create further selling pressure on the BTC price.
