Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado is a well-known Bitcoin advocate. She describes this cryptocurrency as the people's "lifeline" and envisions incorporating it into the national reserves. The adoption rate of cryptocurrencies in Venezuela remains high, with transaction volumes approaching $45 billion from July 2024 to June 2025. Regarding the country's potential Bitcoin holdings, estimates vary from a speculative $60 billion to a conservative 240 Bitcoins (approximately $22 million). However, under the current government leadership, it remains uncertain whether Machado can continue to hold power.
