Bhutan's Strategic Shift in Bitcoin Holdings
- Significant Reduction in Reserves: Bhutan has divested approximately 70% of its Bitcoin reserves over the past 18 months, decreasing from 13,000 BTC in October 2024 to 3,954 BTC, with a current market value of about $280.6 million, indicating a major retreat from cryptocurrency investments.
- Mining Revenue Decline: Bitcoin mining activities in Bhutan have slowed significantly, with no revenue exceeding $100,000 generated in over a year, reflecting a drastic reduction in profitability within this sector.
- Economic Pressures Driving Decisions: The drop in Bitcoin's price from around $90,000 to approximately $71,000, coupled with historical highs in network difficulty, has diminished the profitability of small-scale state-owned mining operations, prompting Bhutan to reassess its Bitcoin strategy.
- Power Sales More Attractive: Analysts suggest that Bhutan's direct sale of hydroelectric power to India may now be more profitable than Bitcoin mining, making this strategic shift particularly noteworthy amidst a global trend of institutional investors moving towards Bitcoin.
