The United States government is one of the most significant Bitcoin holders in the world, holding 205,514
BTC - worth $6 billion - according to Glassnode data.
The U.S. government acquired its BC through seizures.
For context, the U.S. Department of Justice seized $3.6 billion worth of Bitcoin connected to the 2016 Bitfinex hack last year. Before that, the government took 70,000 BTC from Ross Ulbricht when it brought down the Silk Road.
The U.S. government's substantial BTC holding places it ahead of whales like MicroStrategy.
