Unlike Germany — which sold nearly 50,000 BTC it had earlier seized into a rising market last year — Bhutan’s BTC holdings come from its state-backed mining activities and officials tend to sell holdings whenever prices rally.
Much of this strategy is executed via Druk Holding & Investments (DHI), the nation’s sovereign wealth fund, which began mining Bitcoin by utilizing the country’s abundant hydropower.
As such, the government has committed to clean mining practices and is developing crypto-forward infrastructure projects like Gelephu Mindfulness City in partnership with firms like Bitdeer.
