According to analyst Willy Woo, 8 % of the world’s nations have adopted a policy to buy or hold Bitcoin (BTC), compared to only 5 % of the global population that owns it. Twenty-three countries hold BTC acquired through direct purchases, judicial seizures, mining, or sovereign fund exposure, with 15 having implemented an explicit long-term holding strategy. The United States holds 328,372 BTC from judicial seizures, worth approximately $28.2 billion at current prices, more than all other governments combined. In 2025, five new countries joined the list: Brazil, the Czech Republic, Luxembourg, Saudi Arabia, and Taiwan. France does not appear on the list, as seized cryptocurrencies on its territory are meant to be resold.
