Which countries secretly own the most Bitcoin — beyond the US and China

Turns out, Bitcoin isn’t just for crypto whales and tech bros—governments are quietly stacking it up too. While the U.S. and China dominate the public conversation, smaller players like Bhutan, Iran, and the U.K. are building their own Bitcoin stashes as a strategic hedge. Together, governments hold over 463,000 BTC (worth billions), signaling that crypto is becoming a serious part of national financial playbooks.
