A recent rumor suggests that a Latin American country's government might be hiding over 600,000 bitcoins, with a total value approaching $60-67 billion, comparable to MicroStrategy's holdings. Where does this number come from? It mainly stems from exposure of the oil coin project, unclear allocation of $21 billion in energy company revenues, and intelligence pointing to military mining activities.
But there's a major issue—there's no actual on-chain evidence to support this. These figures could be severely overestimated. If the private keys are truly controlled by certain high-level individuals, the situation becomes even more complicated.
The most interesting part is the market reaction: if the rumor is true and a major country's agency seizes the assets, it could temporarily boost market sentiment; but if this massive holding is suddenly dumped, it could trigger a chain of sharp declines. This is the double-edged sword of cryptocurrencies bypassing sanctions—helping to evade regulation but also potentially causing systemic risks at critical moments. Nothing has been confirmed yet.

On-chain data is the truth; without seeing the wallet address, it's all just stories. How was the figure of 600,000 tokens calculated, and can it be traced back?

It's all empty talk. If you can't verify it on the chain, don't spread rumors.

Daring to boast about 600,000 tokens without on-chain evidence? How was this number calculated?

What about on-chain data? Don't spread rumors without UTXO; I've heard too many of these jokes.

More rumors without on-chain evidence again. I've heard too many stories like this.
Over 600,000 coins? I think 80% of it is nonsense. Without on-chain data, they dare to make wild claims.
If they really start dumping, us small investors will have to buy the dip. Damn it.
Actually, I just want to know who holds the private keys—that's the real key.

Pure hype, daring to claim 600,000 coins without on-chain data?
---
How is this guy still making up stories?
---
Private keys in the hands of a few people? That's even more outrageous, with no security at all.
---
If there really were so many coins suddenly dumped, the entire market would be freezing.
---
The Oil Coin project was already a dead end; don’t blame Bitcoin for bad debts.
---
Haha, okay, let’s wait for on-chain proof before talking; right now it’s all speculation.
---
Sanction loopholes do exist, but these numbers are definitely exaggerated tenfold.
---
If there’s truly an investigation, it’s definitely good in the short term, but I don’t believe it can go so smoothly.
---
Just trying to attract attention, anyway no one can verify.

Who holds the private key is the key, this is the real black swan
---
Wait, this logic is a bit backwards... being investigated is actually a good thing?
---
It's the same old story, linking energy income directly to BTC without clear evidence, such imagination
---
Haha, if there really were so many coins, the price would have already exploded, why wait for rumors?
---
Double-edged sword indeed, but first we need to prove they actually have it
---
The oil coin project has long been abandoned, it's ridiculous to use it as an example
---
If there’s a true out-of-control sell-off, hey... we all have to follow and get manipulated
---
Honestly, this is the daily life in the crypto circle—guessing games
---
Without solid evidence, just listen to the story, don’t take it seriously

They're all just rumors without on-chain evidence. I've heard this kind of talk so many times it’s making my ears numb.
Let's see who runs first on the day of the crash...
Who holds the private keys is the real key; that's the true issue.
Another "possible hiding," there are too many "maybes."
Over 60 billion just appeared out of nowhere? I don't believe it.
Systemic risk—here we go again, every time they mention this.
