According to Arkham data, the Royal Government of Bhutan has moved another 102.446 Bitcoin (BTC), valued at around $7.89 million. The country has sold about $206.98 million worth of BTC since the start of 2026. Bhutan currently holds about $265 million worth of BTC, which could be exhausted by October of this year if the country maintains its selling spree. Moreover, the country has also halted its BTC mining operations. Let’s discuss what may be going on.
Will Bhutan Sell All Its Bitcoin Holdings?
Bhutan seems to be de-risking its portfolio amid larger bearish market forces. The country at one point held one of the largest amounts of Bitcoin (BTC), but has since drastically reduced its BTC exposure. Moreover, the nation seems to have slowed down or completely halted its BTC mining operations. Bhutan has seen no major inflows in nearly a year.
It is unclear if Bhutan is moving away from Bitcoin (BTC), or if it is selling to book profits. It is also possible that the country has slowed down its BTC mining operations due to economic strain. Moreover, network difficulty has significantly risen after BTC’s dip to sub-$70,000 levels.

Bitcoin (BTC) climbed to the $79,000 mark earlier this week, but has since faced a correction to the $75,000 mark. The price dip could be due to the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates unchanged after the latest FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting. Higher rates may be keeping investors away from risky assets.
