Government Bitcoin holdings are now estimated at about 646,000 $BTC, equal to roughly 3% of Bitcoin’s 21 million supply.
The U.S. leads with around 328,000 to 330,000 BTC, followed by China with about 190,000 BTC and the UK with roughly 61,000 BTC.
Current trackers put the combined value of government-held BTC above $50 billion, although the exact figure changes with BTC’s market price.
One detail worth watching is how much of this BTC came through government seizures, not regular market purchases.
The UK’s 61,000 BTC, for example, is tied to a major Chinese fraud case, while the U.S. holdings largely come from law-enforcement seizures.
Governments hold Bitcoin differently from companies, but the amount is still significant. Together, governments control about 3% of Bitcoin’s fixed supply, with the U.S. alone holding over 1.5%.
