Do you believe the FBI holds the biggest number of bitcoin?

How would we know? How certain are they? We can't tell because nobody/no one would say how many bitcoins he/she has on his/her hands Tongue

Extremely unlikely. Not impossible, but still... just think, even if they sometimes did, why would they still hold it? Makes no sense. To make CIA jealous? Grin

Maybe, because they want these coins?

After all, the FBI is essentially what is police in other countries at a federal level. But police is known for its venality as well as corruption, and I don't think the US federal police is an exception to this rule. Aside from that, they have a lot of undercover agents, whistle-blowers and similar outcasts who may need bitcoins (as well as other coins, for that matter) to use these coins in their nefarious activities (just like they need drugs, arms, prostitutes, and so on). Just recall about those FBI agents that took Silk Road bitcoins for themselves and think whether they don't really need Bitcoin? And they are the ones who got caught but how many of them got away with it?
