From Oil to Hashrate: The UAE’s Transition into Bitcoin
While the United States is leading in Bitcoin accumulation and hashrate distribution, the UAE is starting to emerge as a significant player in the international Bitcoin community, particularly in the Middle East. Officially, the US holds the most Bitcoin with over 207k in its possession, but reports suggest that the UAE holds around 420k Bitcoin, valued at approximately $46 billion. CryptoRank, a crypto market research and analytics platform, reported that the US controls 36% of the global Bitcoin hashrate, with 94.8% of Bitcoin held by public companies belonging to US firms.
