The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has become the fourth-largest government holder of Bitcoin, possessing 6,333 BTC valued at approximately $712 million. This information was revealed by Arkham Intelligence, which traced Bitcoin wallets associated with the UAE. Unlike other nations such as the U.S. and U.K., where Bitcoin reserves are mainly acquired through law enforcement seizures, the UAE's holdings stem from mining activities by Citadel Mining. Citadel, a public mining company, is predominantly owned by the UAE Royal Group via IHC. This strategic focus on mining highlights the UAE's commitment to integrating digital assets into its economic framework, leveraging its energy resources to strengthen its position in the global digital economy.
