A total of more than 463,000 $BTC , of the more than 19 million in circulation, are currently held by governments. This is revealed in a recent report published by CoinGecko. Furthermore, the data shows that while developing countries have increased their Bitcoin reserves, developed nations have chosen to reduce their holdings of this digital asset.
According to CoinGecko, approximately 2.3% of all existing BTC reserves are under state control. However, this number represents a decrease compared to 2024, when reserves reached 529,591 BTC. While countries like El Salvador and Bhutan continue to actively accumulate, others like the United States and Germany have decided to sell off some of their reserves.
