Only a row that publishes addresses can have its balance checked against the chain — the “Verifiable on-chain” figure above says how many do, and expanding such a row reads those addresses live. Every other figure rests on documents, and moves only when new documents appear — a government could have sold months ago without this table knowing.
Documented history
What each country actually did, and when.
Open any country above to see its timeline: seizures, disposals, transfers between custody addresses and policy decisions. A balance tells you what a government holds; the timeline tells you how it got there and whether it has been willing to sell.

What updates itself here, and what does not. Two things on this page are read live and change on their own: the dollar valuation, repriced from the market price as it moves, and the on-chain balance and recent transactions of the addresses a government has actually published — those update within a block, whether or not anyone has written the event down. Everything else — the holdings figures, the timeline entries and their confidence labels — is a hand-assembled research dataset. No government publishes an API for its bitcoin, so a new seizure or disposal appears here only once it has been documented and the dataset revised. The Dataset updated date above is the honest measure of that: if it is weeks old, this timeline is weeks old.
Note that a movement between government-controlled addresses is routine custody activity and is not evidence of a sale. BitcoinTrench labels the two differently for exactly that reason.
