The United States amasses a fortune in #bitcoin , more than previously thought.

The on-chain analysis firm, Arkham Intelligence, detected that a new wallet with thousands of bitcoins belongs to the United States government.

Key facts:

🔹Federal authorities added more than 5,000 BTC, since the beginning of 2023.

🔹Selling a percentage of your bitcoins would shake the market.

This trend shows that the North American country has a great interest in bitcoin, although a part of its holdings are the product of confiscations from illegal actors who operate on the dark web, as well as from hackers dedicated to ransomware or data kidnapping.

#Arkham Intelligence noted that a new wallet with 3,940 bitcoins belongs to the US federal authorities. With this, it is clear that the government currently owns 216,788 #BTC and not the 194,188 bitcoins it had in October of last year.

The newly detected wallet and the BTC it holds, valued at $251 million, were confiscated from Banmeet Singh, a man accused of drug trafficking during a trial in January this year.

In such a way that the United States government continues to hold more BTC than #MicroStrategy , the publicly traded company with the most bitcoin in the world, which currently owns 214,278 units of the pioneering digital currency.

They are followed by the United Kingdom and Germany. In addition to El Salvador which has a comparatively smaller amount of BTC.
