Which big companies and governments own bitcoin, and how much do they have?
Research question: Which public companies and governments hold bitcoin, and how much do they own?
The records show that Nakamoto held about 4,467 BTC as of June 30, 2026 1, Keel Infrastructure held 2,261 BTC as of the same date 3, and MARA Holdings held 35,577 BTC as of June 30, 2026 13. American Bitcoin Corp. cited holdings of over 7,300 BTC in a May 6, 2026 statement 15. The United States is described as the largest known state holder, with an estimated 198,000 BTC as of August 2025 12, though the executive order that created its Strategic Bitcoin Reserve gives no quantity 4. The newest fact is dated August 14, 2026 1, about two months before today, while the government estimate is over a year old 12, so the answer covers company holdings more fully than government holdings.
