Bhutan Secretly Mined $1.3B in Bitcoin No Buys, No Seizures

Instead of buying or seizing BTC, Bhutan quietly built its $1.3B Bitcoin stack through sovereign mining powered by hydroelectric energy.

Since 2020, the Himalayan nation has operated covert mining farms and the BTC now equals 40% of its GDP.

Revenue has supported civil servant wages and fiscal reserves. Now, mining is woven into Bhutan’s national crypto-tourism push.
