#Governments worldwide are increasingly securing their stake in #Bitcoin , with the U.S. government leading the pack, holding 198,109 $BTC valued at $16.14 billion, accounting for 1.05% of the circulating supply. China follows closely with 194,000 BTC worth $15.78 billion, despite its regulatory stance on crypto. The U.K. government stands third, possessing 61,000 BTC, valued at $4.96 billion, reinforcing the trend of state-controlled Bitcoin reserves. Smaller yet significant holders include Bhutan ($865M, 10,635 BTC), El Salvador ($496.9M, 6,111 BTC), and Ukraine ($60.15M, 642 BTC), showcasing diverse adoption strategies.
With Bitcoin trading around $82,500, the total government-owned supply has now reached 2.37% of the circulating 19.83 million BTC, indicating increasing state-level recognition of Bitcoin as a strategic asset. Emerging economies like Venezuela ($22.52M, 240 BTC) and Finland ($7.98M, 85 BTC) also hold reserves, hinting at potential long-term accumulation strategies. As institutional adoption rises, these holdings could play a critical role in shaping global monetary policies and financial sovereignty. The question remains—how much further will governments go in accumulating BTC?
