The U.S. government holds the world’s largest Bitcoin reserve, valued at approximately $14.7 billion. Beyond Bitcoin, the U.S. has amassed significant quantities of other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum and stablecoins like USDC and Tether, with a combined value of nearly $200 million.

Following the U.S., the UK and Germany hold substantial Bitcoin reserves, valued at $4.2 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively. Unlike the U.S., these nations do not have notable holdings in other cryptocurrencies.

El Salvador, which recognizes Bitcoin as legal tender, has accumulated 5,717 BTC, currently valued at around $400 million. Despite initial losses, El Salvador’s Bitcoin investments have recently turned a 50% profit.

In early 2023, the U.S. increased its Bitcoin reserves by at least 5,000 BTC, mainly through seizures from criminal activities, including operations related to the Silk Road, and cases involving individuals and groups like Jimmy Zhong and the Bitfinex hackers.
