There is circulating information that Venezuela may have accumulated a large “shadow” crypto reserve — up to 600,000 BTC.
In 2018, the regime sold around 73 tons of gold and, according to source estimates, converted the proceeds into Bitcoin to avoid asset freezes by the U.S. Treasury.
It is also claimed that by the end of 2025, a significant share of oil settlements was conducted in USDT, after which the funds were gradually converted into BTC.
