The United States is the largest known holder of Bitcoin among nation-states, possessing over 200,000 BTC, primarily acquired through criminal confiscations, according to Coinomedia. China ranks second with approximately 190,000 BTC, also from seized assets. Other significant holders include the United Kingdom, Germany, and El Salvador, the latter being the only country to have adopted Bitcoin as legal tender.
Speculation is mounting about which nation might next adopt Bitcoin, with Argentina, Turkey, and Nigeria considered potential candidates due to their economic challenges. These countries are under scrutiny as they navigate financial pressures that could influence their stance on cryptocurrency adoption.
