Government Bitcoin holdings drop in 2026, with Bhutan's plummet and Kazakhstan, El Salvador increasing theirs.

In 2026, government Bitcoin holdings declined from 647,231 BTC to 645,596 BTC, a drop of 1,635 BTC. Bhutan saw the largest decrease, losing 91% of its holdings, while Kazakhstan and El Salvador increased theirs. The U.S. remains the largest holder with 328,372 BTC. Despite the decline, some Bitcoin may have moved to untracked wallets rather than being sold. Market pressures include weaker U.S. institutional demand, rising bond yields, inflation, geopolitical tensions, and a strong U.S. dollar, all challenging Bitcoin's near-term outlook. However, Bitcoin holders show improved sentiment with rising unrealized profits, even as Bitcoin spot ETFs experienced net outflows in October following strong inflows in September.

Government Bitcoin holdings in 2026 fell by 1,635 BTC from 647,231 BTC to 645,596 BTC, with the U.S. holding the largest share at 328,372 BTC. For readers following cryptocurrency markets, here is Pluang's market snapshot as of Oct 15, 2026 10:51 WIB: out of 50 major cryptocurrencies, 5 rose and 44 fell today. Notable movers include BAL with a 1-day change of +11.14% at Rp16.297 and BAT down 11.52% at Rp3.014.
