Popular crypto personality & founder of several crypto projects Justin Sun offered to the US government that he wants to purchase those Bitcoins at a 10% discount under a proper deal.

US government has announced its intention to sell an additional 41,500 #BTC this year. To minimize the potential impact on the market, I would like to offer to purchase these BTC at a 10% discount for an OTC deal.

However, no further information came in response to Justin’s offer but if the US government will show interest then surely it will bring a positive outcome for Bitcoin because many Bitcoin investors are getting into fear ahead of a bulk Bitcoin sell plan by the US government.

April fool joke

On 1 April, Justin Sun said that he wants to raise some funds by selling an undisclosed amount of Huobi Global exchange’s shares. Later on the same day, Justin confirmed that it was only an April fool prank. 

As much as I love a good April Fool's Day prank, I must deny the report that @HuobiGlobal is seeking a stake buyer. Rest assured, Huobi is committed to providing our users with a safe, reliable, and innovative platform for trading and investing in cryptocurrency.
