Is Bhutan Quietly Exiting Bitcoin?

Bhutan has reportedly moved another 100 BTC — worth around $8.1 million — from government-linked wallets, fueling speculation the country may be accelerating its Bitcoin selloff. According to Arkham data, Bhutan has already sold over $230 million in BTC during 2025 while still holding roughly $252 million. If sales continue near the current pace of $50 million monthly, the kingdom could fully exit its Bitcoin position before September. Even after the selloff, Bhutan would still secure an estimated $767 million profit from its long-term crypto strategy.
