This is not a feature specific to Brave, but rather is in the core of Chromium (and thus is found in Chrome, and possibly other Chromium-based browsers)

The check runs a scan of your Chromium / Chrome / Brave setup and reports on the status of various privacy or security options and makes suggestions [if lacking]. In some browsers, it will check on installed extensions … and it’ll check the version of the browser you’re currently running.

It also will check if stored passwords have been compromised. (similar to how “Have I Been Pwned” works, but it’s native to the browser.

For example, here’s the output upon running the check on Chromium on openSuse Tumbleweed Linux.

And this is Brave Dev channel on the same Tumbleweed

@justsomeone1,
The Bitcoin widget is only available for specific regions, as it states in the issue you linked to above:

The link outlined points to the following code that defines the available regions

const std::vector<std::string> bitcoin_dot_com_supported_regions = {
  "GB", "AT", "BE", "BG", "HR",
  "CY", "CZ", "DK", "EE", "FI",
  "FR", "DE", "GR", "HU", "IE",
  "IT", "LV", "LT", "LU", "MT",
  "NL", "PL", "PT", "RO", "SK",
  "SI", "ES", "SE", "CA", "AU",
  "RU", "CH", "ZA", "NZ"
};
