They are double counting some coins....I dont know how accurate those numbers really are.

Well the government number tracks and the general trend also seems correct. Given how we have seen the huge inflows in the ETFs

It even says in that article that it was counting double on some coins depending on who owns them and where they are stored.

The US government: 198,955 Bitcoin worth $12.2 billion. The 8th largest holder

Nope they have sold some over the years but they never got rid of all the silk road.
