The Arkham platform has marked the Bitcoin address held by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) worth $740 million. This is significant as, after the United States and the United Kingdom, another sovereign nation's treasury has been 'publicly revealed.' Interestingly, the UAE's Bitcoin was not obtained through confiscation, but rather legitimately mined through the mining company Citadel.

The involvement of royal groups and a series of complex equity structures indicate that Middle Eastern tycoons have long been deeply invested in this. They are not just buying in the secondary market but have taken direct control of the upstream production side, a strategy that is far superior to merely hoarding coins. Mining themselves reduces costs and avoids many compliance hassles, essentially delivering a lower-dimensional strike.

This incident also serves as a reminder to the market that those 'national teams' we cannot see may be far more numerous than we imagine. While everyone is cheering for a certain publicly traded company's acquisition of a few hundred BTC, sovereign entities are quietly making substantial profits. This undoubtedly adds another solid foundation to the long-term narrative of Bitcoin's value.
