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 Bitcoinโs 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 Bitcoinโs future?
U.S. Entities Surpass Global Bitcoin Holders
Ki Young Ju recently shared that Bitcoin reserves held by U.S. entitiesโsuch as miners, corporations, exchanges, ETFs, and even the governmentโhave 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.
Things began to change when President Donald Trump
Donald Trump Donald Trump is an American former president politician, businessman, and media personality, who served as the 45th president of the U.S. between 2017 to 2021.

Trump has remained a prominent figure in the Republican Party and is considered a likely candidate for the 2024 presidential election President supported crypto during his re-election campaign, pushing Bitcoinโs price to hit ATH $108,135.
This price jump also helped U.S. Bitcoin ETFs grow, with billions in new investments. Major ETFs like BlackRockโs and Fidelityโs played a key role in this change.
Other Countries Take Notice
This U.S. dominance has sparked interest in other countries, like Russia and Poland, which are considering their own Bitcoin reserves. However, economist Peter Schiff has criticized this move and warned of massive price crashes.
Moreover, as the U.S. becomes a bigger player in Bitcoin, the country’s regulations and policies will play a crucial role in determining the future of Bitcoin worldwide.
