Author: Content Editor
The U.S. government owns an impressive 198,109 BTC worth $19.21 billion, making it one of the largest holders of Bitcoin. Despite having the clearance to sell the seized Silk Road Bitcoin, the government has not made any sales to date. The value of the government's Bitcoin holdings has increased thanks to BTC's recent rally, reaching $6.7 billion by mid-January. The authorities plan to keep the Bitcoin as a strategic national reserve, but any gains or losses will remain unrealized unless a record-breaking sale occurs in the next four days.
