## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability glassnode-government-treasury-balances-4d0f381e
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest Glassnode data on government Bitcoin treasury balances for all tracked sovereign entities, denominated in USD, so I can see how much BTC each government currently holds.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need per-government granularity of Bitcoin holdings over time, rather than aggregate institutional or corporate treasury data. Ideal for macro analysis, sovereign crypto policy tracking, or comparing individual country-level BTC positions.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'a' (asset) query parameter returns 400 error
- Unsupported asset symbol (only BTC currently allowed) returns validation error
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC causes 402 Payment Required
- Invalid currency or format enum value returns bad request
- Service unavailable or upstream Glassnode data delay returns 503
