I do have doubt in this sort of speculations at whatever point I can't discover some rationale in it. USA is the most capable nation and I do think that they are making our existence on worldwide level. Bitcoin turn out to be extremely important and I think that they wouldn't simply observe entire occasion like by standing spectators. Correct story behind the cover, we can simply estimate about. So I feel that it's conceivable that they have the most or can make it useless.

They might have a large number of bitcoin but I think a group of hackers have more than that.  We know that they confiscated those btc on the darknet but let's say they got 1 billion worth of it, it's still nothing because hackers can steal more than that in a short period of time.(Yes, I'm talking about exchanges.)

I think, that is might be the truth,because in this case, US government can manipulate and control crypto world and market.

Do you believe the FBI holds the biggest number of bitcoin?

How would we know?  How certain are they?  We can't tell because nobody/no one would say how many bitcoins he/she has on his/her hands Tongue

I would not know for sure since FBI doesn't really disclose those kind of information to the public since it is of a personal investment of FBI. But I don't think the FBI would think of holding on to bitcoins since they don't have a clear use for it. They are enforcers of the law, not som big fish investors.

Probably the FBI does not hold the biggest number of bitcoins, but for sure tens of thousands of Bitcoins which they have seized from criminals. But some of them has been auctioned if I remember well.

Yes I do believe on your statement. FBI has alot of bitcoin in their hand instead they will give it to the real owner they will just hide and keep it in their walletd. So I don't believe on them they should give it back to real owners.

The FBI will rue the day it sold its hoard of Silk Road bitcoins for $48 million as those coins are now worth an astonishing $2.4 billion
During auctions in 2014 and 2015, funds confiscated from the defunct darknet marketplace sold to various bidders at what now seem like rock-bottom prices.144,336 BTC changed hands as a result of taking down Silk Road, selling for an average price of just $334.

To me it doesn't look at all like they are holding BTC.

yes FBI hold thousands of BTC those where held in Silkroad drug deal they are still holding sooner or later they will auction

Those were sold more than 3 years ago.

Was it because the FBI news had managed to capture Medvedev a few days so that the FBI is said to be the largest bitcoin holder? I do not think so. Because there are still many out there people who hold more bitcoin than the bitcoin confiscated FBI. The bitcoin confiscated by the FBI is not his but the bitcoin belongs to the people who have been tricked by Medvedev so the FBI should return the bitcoin to those who have been deceived by Medvedev.

No. They don't at least to my knowledge they do not hold the biggest number of bitcoin. They do how ever have bitcoin that they have seized over the past years from criminals. Satoshi holds the most amount of bitcoin about 5 million.

As you said we don't know. But I guess the investors back then are the one who holds more numbers of bitcoin because that time bitcoin is very cheap. The whale investors before have the big amount of bitcoin to support it for now. We see bitcoin prices in every day changes. I guess there is a relation with that.

I think it is their best interest to have bitcoins in case their financial status suddenly takes a turn for the worst. With these record amounts of bitcoins, they can fund their own army for years. I think if we knew their bitcoin address, we can snoop out their bitcoins snd check how much they have.

Thatbis a very interesting topic that you have there. I cannot say anything in this topic but to ask too if this is a truth and on how do they acquired that huge amount of bitcoins. As far as i know bitcoins are untraceable in soem illegal transactions or maybe they have an inside man so everytime that bad guys transact in bitcoins in illegal activities the fbi interrupt and collect all their bitcoins. If they are doing that for a good cause i am going to be gppd at it because it is for the sake of may but if just for themselves i dont think so.
