In a stunning revelation, the Kingdom of Bhutan has been found to hold an impressive $1.27 billion in Bitcoin. This makes the tiny Himalayan nation one of the few countries with such a significant stake in the leading cryptocurrency. While many governments remain cautious about crypto, Bhutan has been quietly accumulating BTC—showing boldness in embracing digital assets.
The move is part of Bhutan’s broader strategy to diversify its economy and invest in future-proof assets. Given the country’s reputation for being reserved and cautious with foreign investments, this crypto bet stands out.
It remains unclear when Bhutan began purchasing Bitcoin, but reports suggest the accumulation has been happening over several years—likely during periods of price dips and market uncertainty. This method mirrors the strategies of seasoned institutional investors and signals deep financial planning.
Bhutan’s state-owned investment arm, Druk Holding & Investments, is rumored to have facilitated many of these purchases, possibly in partnership with crypto platforms or through discreet over-the-counter (OTC) deals.
This level of investment reflects not just a bet on Bitcoin but confidence in blockchain’s role in global finance. With $1.27 billion in BTC, Bhutan joins the ranks of sovereign entities positioning themselves for a future led by digital value.

Bhutan’s move might inspire other smaller nations to explore Bitcoin as a strategic reserve. Unlike fiat currencies that lose value over time, Bitcoin offers a decentralized and limited-supply alternative—making it attractive in inflationary global conditions.
As geopolitical and economic uncertainties rise, Bhutan’s bold strategy could become a model for countries seeking resilience through crypto.
