Crypto forensic analysts doubt reports suggesting Venezuela’s Bitcoin reserves exceed U.S. holdings, following the arrest of Nicolás Maduro.
Unverified claims circulating online suggest Venezuela may control $60 billion in Bitcoin, which would surpass the estimated $30 billion held by the U.S. government. The speculation emerged after the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. However, crypto forensic specialists have expressed skepticism over the credibility of these figures, noting the absence of supporting blockchain evidence. If accurate, such holdings would be among the largest state-owned Bitcoin reserves globally.
