#美国 【Shocking! Did the US government suddenly become an invisible tycoon in the cryptocurrency world? The secrets behind the $21 billion holdings revealed!】

Folks, the scoop we're discussing today is sure to drop your jaw! According to the latest data from the on-chain intelligence platform Arkham, the US government's cryptocurrency wallet has suddenly 'expanded' to $21.156 billion, equivalent to stuffing the entire GDP of Iceland into a digital wallet! Even more astonishing is that these assets weren't earned through trading; you know what I mean 🤔 —

1. Bitcoin: $20.69 billion digital gold empire.

The US government currently holds 198,012 Bitcoins, which at the current price of $100,000, this pile of 'digital gold' is worth more than the combined gold reserves of the top 20 central banks globally! Where do these Bitcoins come from? The answer is hidden in the dark web, hacking cases, and money laundering scandals. For example, 69,000 Bitcoins confiscated from the Silk Road dark web in 2020, and 94,000 Bitcoins recovered from the Bitfinex exchange hacking case in 2022. These once inconspicuous 'ill-gotten gains' have now made the US the third-largest holder of Bitcoin globally, second only to Satoshi Nakamoto and Binance!

The most outrageous part is that the Trump administration quietly initiated a (Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Act) last year, planning to hoard 1 million Bitcoins (equivalent to 5% of the current global circulation) within five years, and even intends to use the foreign exchange stabilization fund to directly buy Bitcoin! This move is essentially treating Bitcoin as 'digital oil' for positioning!

2. Ethereum: $150 million technology bet.

In addition to Bitcoin, the US government is also hiding 59,965 Ethereum, which at the recent price of $2,467, is a solid $150 million. This isn't just casual buying; it's backed by an executive order signed by Trump in March — specifically establishing a 'digital asset reserve' to store confiscated mainstream coins like Ethereum and Solana. Interestingly, just last month, Ethereum completed the Pectra upgrade, boosting transaction speeds to 500 TPS, directly igniting the market and causing a 40% price surge in 72 hours! The US government's bottom-fishing here can be called 'precise timing'!

3. USDT: 122 million dollar anchor point.

What’s most confusing is that the US government has hoarded 122 million USDT. It's worth noting that Tether, the company behind USDT, has faced scandals regarding 'reserve manipulation.' Why does the government still keep an eye on it? The answer lies in US debt! Last year, USDT used $114 billion to buy US debt as reserves, becoming the 19th largest holder of US debt. In other words, the US government is using USDT to 'cement' dollar hegemony in the crypto market, after all, each USDT is backed by $0.8 of US debt and cash.

Behind this operation lie three deeply concerning truths.

✅ Strategic transformation: The US is incorporating Bitcoin into national reserves, aiming to create a 'dollar + Bitcoin' dual anchor system. The Treasury even plans to replace part of US debt with Bitcoin reserves, potentially settling international debts directly with Bitcoin in the future!

✅ Technological positioning: Through confiscation and legislation, the US is controlling the 'faucet' of cryptocurrency. From Bitcoin's private key management to Ethereum's Layer 2 ecosystem, the government is building a fully compliant digital asset empire.

✅ Risk reefs: The cryptocurrency assets managed by the US Marshals Service have always been a 'messy account.' Last year, two Ethereum wallets lost control, creating a scandal. The more concerning issue is that these assets are stored in offline cold wallets; if the private keys are lost, $20 billion could simply vanish!

How can ordinary people seize this opportunity?

If you're an investor, now that Bitcoin has broken $100,000, Standard Chartered has adjusted its target price to $200,000. But remember, the US government could sell at any time; last year they quietly sold 100,000 Bitcoins, directly causing the market to crash by 15%!

To put it bluntly: when the US government gets into cryptocurrency trading, crypto has long ceased to be a 'marginal asset.' This move not only caused the market to explode but also signifies that the global financial order is being reshaped. In the future, we may really witness the birth of 'digital dollar hegemony' — and it all starts with this $21.1 billion wallet!#btc #ETH #USDT
