I also do not know the reason why 64 bit binary is not released on the official 
site.
However, it took a time when the first windows binary came up to the official 
site.
(octave-4.0.0)
At the time when octave version was 3.8, octave for windows was not available 
from the 
official site but a site distributed windows binaries (That site is closed 
now.).

Perhaps, I suppose that 64 bit binary will be distributed from the official 
site in the near future.
