Everyone thinks that Satoshi Nakamoto has a lot of bitcoins, but few people know that the Bulgarian government may also have a lot of them.
One of the news sources says that the Bulgarian government, in the fight against illegal activities, has collected a large number of bitcoins, seized from criminals.
According to various sources, a series of arrests in mid-2017 resulted in the seizure of 213,519 BTC, but the government denies this. They are now worth about US$1.5 billion. It is unclear whether the funds have been used, but if not, the state could pay off 25% of its national debt in one day.
Last year, OFFnews reported that the poorest country in the EU, Bulgaria, suddenly became owner of a treasure as more than 210 000 BTC were confiscated during a special operation in May. The only owner that has almost as much reserves as Bulgaria is BitFinex, which currently has a portfolio of about 163,000 BTC or more than $1 billion.
