A winning bidder has claimed 2,700 BTC (worth $1.58m) at an auction held by the US Marshals Service (USMS).
New data reveals bidder participation in the second US Marshals Service bitcoin auction has declined significantly from the first.
A new research note from financial giant Citi suggests participants in the next USMS auction may be able to obtain bitcoins at a deep discount.
The second USMS auction of 50,000 BTC is attracting many of the same bidders, if less fanfare.
