How Much Bitcoin (BTC) Does Each Country Have? El Salvador at the End of the List

Cryptocurrency data platform CoinGecko has released an updated report on the amount of Bitcoin (BTC) held by countries. According to the report, as of April 2025, governments hold a total of 463,741 BTC, which is about 2.3% of Bitcoin’s total supply, but this is down from the 529,591 BTC reported in July 2024. The report notes that while some countries are increasing their Bitcoin reserves, others are selling them. Countries like El Salvador and Bhutan are actively accumulating BTC, while countries like the US and Germany are reducing their reserves. The United States holds the most Bitcoin holdings, at around 198,012 BTC (around $18.3 billion), but that amount is down slightly from 2024. With the “Digital Fort Knox” executive order signed by President Donald Trump in March 2025, the US government began to consolidate its Bitcoin holdings into a strategic reserve.

The country is one of the rare governments that obtains Bitcoin through mining rather than outright purchase or seizure. El Salvador, on the other hand, continued its strategy of purchasing 1 BTC per day, increasing its reserves to 6,135 BTC (approximately $567.8 million). Under the leadership of President Nayib Bukele, the country continues to integrate Bitcoin into the national economy. Bitcoin donations to Ukraine since 2024 have reached a total of 256 BTC (approximately $21.3 million). These assets were fully liquidated and used for military and humanitarian aid.
