With a tiny 240 BTC worth around $22 million, Venezuela's publicly verifiable Bitcoin holdings have not changed in a tracked state wallet since late 2022, notwithstanding the country's turbulent crypto history with the failed Petro coin and mining prohibitions.
Explosive rumors of a huge hidden treasure (600,000–660,000 BTC, or $56–61 billion) constructed through illicit gold sales, oil transactions, and seized rigs since 2018 have resurfaced following the post-Maduro capture on January 3, 2026.
While Bitcoin is stable at about $92k and no on-chain evidence yet seems to keep markets indifferent, if the shadow stash exists and comes under US control it might lock up supply on the scale of MicroStrategy or BlackRock—potentially a major positive catalyst for scarcity. Watch closely as truths distinguish themselves from fabrication.
