Crypto fam, forget El Salvador – Bhutan is the silent sovereign Bitcoin beast! This tiny Himalayan nation (pop. ~770K) has been mining BTC with 100% renewable hydropower since 2019, turning surplus clean energy into a massive strategic reserve. Now holding ~11,000-13,000 BTC (worth ~$1.3B – nearly 40% of GDP!), they're ranked among the top sovereign holders worldwide. 🔥
Key 2026 updates:
Strategic Reserve Confirmed: PM announced active accumulation as a hedge against global instability – long-term, cautious, no reckless speculation.
$1B Bitcoin Pledge: Up to 10,000 BTC allocated to fund Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC) – a futuristic eco-hub – via collateralized lending & yield strategies (NO selling reserves!).
Green Mining Expansion: Partnerships (e.g., Bitdeer) for carbon-free operations; newest farms online, converting excess hydro into BTC without environmental harm.
Broader Crypto Play: Gold-backed TER token on Solana, crypto payments for tourism (100+ coins via Binance Pay), national digital ID on Ethereum (full migration Q1 2026).
Bhutan proves sustainable mining + HODL strategy = economic diversification, poverty reduction, and youth jobs. While others talk, Bhutan builds quietly – offsetting dirty mining elsewhere with pure green hash power! ⛏️❄️
Is Bhutan the model for nation-state Bitcoin adoption? Bullish on green BTC reserves exploding in 2026? 👇
