The US has a secret that they don’t want you to know. While most supporters of the crypto industry have applauded countries such as El Salvador, where Bitcoin was made legal tender. Or other places such as Dubai or Portugal, where cryptocurrency taxes are zero. Most would assume that these Bitcoin “friendly” countries are likely the largest holders of Bitcoin. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. While the US puts on an act that they don’t support Bitcoin or the crypto space, and even look down on it. The reality is that they are the largest nation holder of Bitcoin, and it isn’t even close.

Once you begin to go down the rabbit hole, everything that they have been doing begins to make sense.

Over the years if you have been looking in the right places, it has been public information that the US held a substantial amount of Bitcoin. Most of it they have received through seized Bitcoin from criminal arrests and shutting down services such as The Silk Road. The US isn’t the first country to seize Bitcoin, as many others have done so as well. However, what differentiates the US from other countries is that most countries will immediately sell off their seized Bitcoin. In the past the US has done the same, notably selling a large portion of the Silk Road Bitcoin to Tim Draper. With that said, in recent years they have become much slower with this process. Almost as if they are delaying selling off their BTC, or simply aren’t planning on selling their remaining balance at all.

According to the chart, the US holds nearly 70,000 BTC from seizures alone. But that doesn’t mean they don’t own even more that we aren’t aware of. In recent years there have been strong rumors that the US government has begun mining its own Bitcoin. It is likely that they might even be buying on the side as well.

During the last two years, the amount of FUD thrown toward Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market has been unprecedented. Foreign countries outright banning it, banning Bitcoin mining, ESG mining FUD, regulations, and the list goes on. Perhaps the biggest news of the moment is the SEC's onslaught of attacks declaring nearly all cryptocurrencies securities. It has been a difficult time to be an investor in this market.

However, we need to look at this situation deeper.

Throughout this entire process with the SEC, there has been one cryptocurrency that has been exempt from all of the security discussions. Only one cryptocurrency that has been proclaimed legitimate, is a commodity, and not a security. 

Bitcoin. 

Could it be that the US government is actually not only a supporter of Bitcoin but that they are wanting to protect it to also protect their own interests? This is where the game theory of Bitcoin becomes a real player. Once the dominoes begin to fall and nations start rushing into Bitcoin, there will be no option. Countries will be forced to buy, or risk being left behind on the world stage. The countries that enter first and are able to build up a significant position will benefit greatly and potentially be the new world leader.

The US could still end up selling their remaining Bitcoin, however, there is no denying that they have been going about it very slowly. In my opinion, it could be that they’re simply not too keen on selling.

While we love to look at what the US is doing from the outside and criticize them. Declaring that they don’t know what they are doing, and that they are losing their grip on power.

With that said, always remember that the US is incredibly secretive. They know what their position is, and where the world is heading next. They can see that their national debt just reached over $32 trillion, and won’t be stopping anytime soon. People such as Jerome Powell or Janet Yellen have even admitted that in the near future, the US dollar might not be the world reserve currency. What this means is that the US government already sees the writing on the wall. That the dollar is in decline, and Bitcoin could be their only option.

Don’t listen to what they say, but watch what they do.

The fact is that they have been holding onto their Bitcoin for reasons we aren’t privy to. It’s also likely that they have much more Bitcoin than we even know about. One of the things that the US does better than anyone is preparing for any possible scenario. You better believe that they have already thought this through. With the SEC isn’t going after Bitcoin which gives even more credence to this theory.

The chips are beginning to fall into place. With Blackrock, the most powerful financial company in the world, now entering the Bitcoin market. The big players are up to something currently. We look back at this moment, as the time when Bitcoin took over.

How about you? Do you think the US has a Bitcoin secret?
