At the auction held in France, 0.11 bitcoins with a market value of 5.180 euros found buyers for 26.800 euros. The auction manager had to warn participants several times before the sale was finalized.
#France held the first #Bitcoin #auction yesterday, in which public institutions participated . Bitcoins stolen from the Gatehub stock exchange in 2019 were auctioned at the Kapandji Morhange auction center with the participation of more than 1,600 people.
State Secretary for Public Expenditure Affairs, Olivier Dussopt, told BFM Business at the end of the auction that 24m euros will enter the state coffers.
Some of the lots sold had fractions and some had flat (eg 1 BTC). While the opening price for one full Bitcoin is 23,250 euros, most of them were sold at a price of 40,000 euros. The money collected will be entrusted to the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations until the #Gatehub case is concluded.
