According to data from Arkham Intelligence, the Bhutanese government’s crypto wallet resumed activity on June 30 after two weeks of dormancy, transferring 137.24 BTC to Binance.
At the time of the transaction, Bitcoin was trading around $107,000, valuing the transfer at approximately $14.7 million.
This brings the Bhutanese government’s total Bitcoin transfers over the past two weeks to 650 BTC, valued at approximately $74.24 million.
Although some worry about Bhutan’s recent Bitcoin sales, they are far less aggressive than the German government’s 2024 sell-off, which liquidated all its BTC holdings within 1-2 months.
Embracing Crypto the Right Way
The Bhutanese government has integrated cryptocurrency into its national development strategy under the leadership of King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck.
Key initiatives include hydro-powered Bitcoin mining and the establishment of a sovereign crypto reserve.
In May, Bhutan partnered with Binance to roll out crypto payment solutions aimed at revitalizing the country’s tourism industry.
However, adoption efforts continue to face challenges, including infrastructure limitations such as inconsistent internet connectivity.
Bitcoin is leading the broader crypto market rally today with bulls holding it firmly above $120K. Market analysts are already giving higher price targets of $150K and beyond in this latest run-up.
