 <li style="font-weight: 400">The US government leads the race, holding over 200k Bitcoin (BTC) while China comes&nbsp; as a close second, with more than 190k BTC.</li>

The promise of freedom from centralized entities like governments(China and the US), banks, and other financial institutions fuels the entire cryptocurrency world.&nbsp;
Bitcoin’s technology is undoubtedly sophisticated enough to take care of itself; however, the government’s increased stimulus plans have continued to raise issues.&nbsp;
In general, bitcoin maxis and the cryptocurrency community are increasingly becoming concerned about the continued uptake of Bitcoin by larger economies like China and the US.&nbsp;
Through the DOJ, the US government currently holds more than 200k Bitcoin, making it the leading country in BTC holdings despite needing clear backing for the course.&nbsp;
Unlike the US, the Chinese government has repeatedly shown clear intent to own BTC. The Chinese government is the only country rivaling the US in the number of BTC holdings.&nbsp;

With approximately 190k Bitcoins, the two countries are positioning themselves as custodians of Bitcoin, raising questions about true decentralization.&nbsp;
<h3 id="span-style-font-weight-400-potential-threats-china-and-the-us-pose-to-decentralization-span">Potential Threats China and the US pose to Decentralization.</h3>
Bitcoin thrives on decentralization and freedom for its users. When large economies like the US and China continue to amass Bitcoin, there is a potential threat to centralize holdings, undermining the decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies in general.&nbsp;
Additionally, the mass adoption of Bitcoin by authorities like China and the US can significantly impact regulation.&nbsp;
The regulatory influence of these governments can hinder the natural growth of these cryptocurrencies.&nbsp;
Continued adoption of Bitcoin by China and the US can create stricter regulations that can easily affect its use and distribution.&nbsp;
Additionally, government involvement can easily shape mass opinion and alter market dynamics that are seemingly happening organically at the moment.&nbsp;
Governance concerns can also become significant when different independent countries challenge the primary principles of decentralization.&nbsp;
According to an X <a href="https://twitter.com/Blockworks_/status/1775238954075193401" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">post</a> by Blockworks, the DOJ has a lot of Bitcoin and might be planning to sell a large chunk of it.&nbsp;

The tweet sparked a debate on Twitter, with many Americans expressing their discontent.&nbsp;
Some crypto enthusiasts mentioned that the DOJ did not receive the enormous Bitcoin holdings legally, while others noted that Americans should at least get a share of what the government currently holds in BTC.&nbsp;
Despite these sentiments, it is clear that Bitcoin still remains the pillar of cryptocurrencies and demonstrates the potential to revolutionize the financial scene.&nbsp;

Looking at the maximum supply of Bitcoin (21 million), the current holdings by governments are negligible.&nbsp;
The Top ten countries holding Bitcoin are the USA, China, the UK, Germany, Ukraine, El Salvador, Finland and Georgia.&nbsp;
These countries hold&nbsp; 566,277 Bitcoin, with a current market value of $38,755,796,139.&nbsp;
Out of the 21 million Bitcoins, these ten countries hold 2.697% of the total supply as of March 2024.&nbsp;
These figures, however not threatening, should shed insight into the possible increase in BTC uptake by governments like China and the US, threatening decentralization.
