U.S. entities now hold 65% more Bitcoin reserves than non-U.S. counterparts, hitting an ATH.
Bitcoin reserve ratio rose from 1.24 in 2024 to 1.65 in January 2025.
Trump's pro-crypto stance fueled Bitcoin’s price surge and U.S. Bitcoin ETF dominance.
The United States is now leading the global Bitcoin market, with U.S.-based entities holding 65% more Bitcoin reserves than those outside the country. This new all-time high (ATH), highlighted by CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju, marks a significant shift in Bitcoin ownership.
But what does this mean for Bitcoin’s future?
U.S. Entities Surpass Global Bitcoin Holders
Ki Young Ju recently shared that Bitcoin reserves held by U.S. entities—such as miners, corporations, exchanges, ETFs, and even the government—have surged compared to reserves held by non-U.S. entities. This trend shows the growing dominance of the U.S. in the digital asset market.
Over the years, well-known American companies like MicroStrategy have been purchasing Bitcoin regularly and adding it to their balance sheets.
However, the ratio of Bitcoin held by U.S. entities has risen from 1.24 in September 2024 to 1.65 by January 6, 2025. This indicates that U.S. entities now control a far larger share of Bitcoin reserves compared to non-U.S. entities.
As more U.S. companies and institutions get involved with Bitcoin, it is clear that the U.S. is taking a leadership position in the digital asset market.
How Trump Changed the Crypto Game
Interestingly, until 2023, non-U.S. entities controlled more Bitcoin than those in the U.S., especially when Bitcoin’s price remained below $30,000.
