U.S. Government now holds more Bitcoin than China and the UK
The U.S. surpasses China and the UK in national Bitcoin holdings, signaling growing government adoption of cryptocurrency as a strategic asset.
The United States now holds about 198,000 Bitcoin worth over $20 billion, surpassing China’s 190,000 BTC and the UK’s 61,000 BTC.
Combined, the three governments control around 449,000 BTC, equal to roughly 2.1% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
Most of the U.S. holdings stem from seizures tied to illicit activities, and under President Donald Trump, proposals have emerged to establish a national Bitcoin stockpile to cement U.S. dominance in the crypto market.
