The Kingdom of Bhutan keeps cashing in its Bitcoin reserves
The Bhutanese government transferred 738 bitcoins, valued at approximately $44.88 million, on June 6th. This new move extends a series of sell-offs that have been ongoing for several months and have extensively depleted the state's crypto reserves in the Himalayan kingdom. Will this trend continue until the real stock is completely exhausted?

Bhutan stands out among sovereign holders because it never bought BTC on the open market. The state relied on its abundant hydroelectric resources to mine Bitcoin directly, allowing it to accumulate significant positions without spending capital.
This model had positioned the kingdom as one of the best-placed states in the asset. Now, the dynamics are reversing.
On-chain observers note a sequence of transfers since 2026: 375 BTC in one operation, then a return to 4,452 BTC after a $36 million move, and now these additional 738 BTC.
Additionally, DHI generated confusion by denying any sales despite wallets showing a net decrease.
