Inside the Royal Government of Bhutan’s Bold $66M Bitcoin Transfer — Strategic or Something More?

The BTC transfer, initiated from Bhutan’s government-linked crypto wallets, comes as the world’s most popular cryptocurrency approaches its peak valuation. Arkham Intelligence disclosed details on this transaction on Tuesday afternoon.

“Crypto wallets belonging to the Royal Government of Bhutan moved $66.55M BTC to Binance this morning,” Arkham stated. “The last time they deposited to exchanges was 4 months ago, at the start of July. The Royal Government of Bhutan operates a large bitcoin mining operation through its national investment company, Druk Holdings and Investments.”

Arkham added:

In the second half of 2023, Bhutan’s bitcoin mines were mining around 780 BTC per month (~26 BTC/day). Over the past 3 months August – October 2024, that number has dropped to around 260 BTC per month (~8.6 BTC/day). This is likely due mostly to the halving, as well as a rise in global hashrate, or possibly an issue with some of the Bhutanese mining rigs.

The recent transfer spotlights Bhutan’s strategic approach to its bitcoin (BTC) holdings, showcasing a hands-on style that adapts to shifting market landscapes. Moving assets to Binance hints at Bhutan’s potential aim to capitalize on its mined bitcoin for broader fiscal or operational plans—particularly in light of pressures from the latest bitcoin halving and variable mining outputs. These actions highlight Bhutan’s developing tactics within the global crypto arena. While some of Bhutan’s cache has been moved, the purpose behind it remains open to speculation.
