【Geopolitical Impact BTC】Venezuela's 660,000 Bitcoins Become the Biggest Suspense, Maduro's Arrest Sparks Cryptocurrency Shakeup

1. According to intelligence agencies, Venezuela has accumulated 600,000 to 660,000 BTC from 2018 to 2026 through three main channels: exchanging gold (73 tons of gold for 400,000 BTC), USDT settlements from oil transactions, and seizing illegal mining operations. The total value is approximately $56-67 billion, comparable to MicroStrategy and BlackRock;

2. These assets are controlled by multi-signature cold wallets, with the core keys distributed among agents in Switzerland, Turkey, and other countries. The U.S. has not yet gained actual control;

3. If the U.S. obtains the private keys through judicial or intelligence means, a massive sell-off of BTC could trigger a market crash; if the assets are frozen long-term, they could serve as an "invisible reserve" for BTC, providing short-term positive sentiment.
