The post Bitcoin Reserves Hit New ATH: U.S. Entities Now Lead by 65% appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju noted that U.S.-based entities now hold 65% more Bitcoin reserves than entities located outside the U.S. This marks a new all-time high (ATH) and shows the U.S. is taking the lead in Bitcoin reserves. Perhaps this wasn’t the actual scenario before 2024, and now many are questioning what this change means for Bitcoin’s future.
