Source I used was Matthew Sigel, head of Digital Assets Research at Van Eck. His claim was that 3 million BTC is currently held in govt and institutions (could be more). The 25% was my back of the envelope guess by taking the 19.8 mil mined less the 3-4 million lost (could be more) so circulating supply 15-16mil. Admittedly rough but 20-25% realistic.
