It is known that the group of $K$-rational points of an elliptic curve $E$ is finitely generated if $K$ is a number field of finite degree over $\mathbb{Q}$. The picture is less clear if $K$ is infinite-dimensional over $\mathbb{Q}$. I believe the best result is that of Kobayashi who proved (modulo the usual conjectures on Hasse-Weil $L$-functions and BSD) that $\operatorname{rank}(E(\mathbb{Q}^{\operatorname{ab}}))=\infty$. What is known about the rank of $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1},\sqrt{2},\sqrt{3},\sqrt{5},...)$?
