#Strategy加码BTC配置 A unique macro story is unfolding: a South American regime is building a "shadow financial reserve" through Bitcoin, potentially on an unimaginable scale.



According to on-chain analysts' tracking, this regime has been engaged in a long-term accumulation of digital assets since 2018—initially testing the waters with "oil-backed tokens," which ended in failure. Afterward, they shifted strategies: settling oil exports in USDT, but later realized the risk of stablecoin freezes, so they transferred everything into Bitcoin.

This operational framework has lasted nearly 8 years:

Between 2018-2020, they accumulated BTC through gold swaps, which were valued at about $5,000 per coin at the time, now worth $45-50 billion; some of the oil they sold for cash is now valued at $10-15 billion; plus, a $500 million holding seized from shuttered enterprises. Rough estimates suggest this reserve has expanded to a scale of $56-67 billion, with over 660,000 BTC.

This size is enough to stir waves in the market. More importantly, this is no longer just a game of individual nations— the power struggle surrounding these assets is quietly shifting the global Bitcoin market landscape.

Market participants must start reconsidering Bitcoin's role in geopolitics.

660,000 BTC? If they dump that much, the market would explode. It all depends on when they make their move.

660,000 BTC... This number is a bit outrageous. If they really dump it all, the market would shake for three days.

Whoa, 660,000 coins? This really redefines geopolitical dynamics. I've got one more reason to increase my position.

660,000 tokens? If that's true, our current market is really interesting. Geopolitics starting to play with BTC is indeed a new script.

660,000 tokens? How big of a hole does that have to be dug? If they really go for it, the market will collapse.
