Under sanctions pressure, some countries are beginning to reassess the strategic value of crypto assets. Take Venezuela as an example; after facing long-term international sanctions, it has gradually adjusted its financial settlement system, including a shift towards the crypto sector. There is much debate in the industry about whether the country has truly accumulated 600,000 Bitcoins—this is not only a numerical issue but also reflects a deeper phenomenon: in the context of traditional finance being frozen, Bitcoin is being repositioned as a national-level safe-haven asset and a tool of power. This case reminds us that the value of crypto assets has surpassed mere investment assets and has become a new variable in the international political and economic landscape.

600,000 Bitcoins? Hard to tell if it's true or false, but I love this logic... Traditional finance is closed off, and cryptocurrencies become "national weapons," this reversal is brilliant.

600,000 Bitcoins? I scoff at that; this number is just nonsense.
But on the other hand, sanctions have really pushed these countries into the crypto world, which is a bit outrageous.
Using BTC as a national policy chip—this game is getting serious.

600,000 BTC? That's an outrageous number. Where does Venezuela get that much money to buy...

600,000 Bitcoins? Ha, I believe that number half the time, after all, who knows what the actual holdings are.
