Recently, Bhutan’s sovereign wealth fund—Druk Holding & Investments (DHI)—transferred 517 BTC, valued around $59 million, to a new wallet address that had conducted a test transfer to Binance just a day earlier. This action has once again sparked speculation that the funds may be destined for exchange and possible liquidation.
Pattern of Activity
This isn’t a one-off move. In mid‑July, Bhutan made sizable bitcoin transfers to Binance—212+ BTC ($23M) and even 650 BTC ($74M) in separate transactions—all coinciding with market highs.
Current Reserves & Economic Scale
Despite these movements, Bhutan still retains a substantial holding. Estimates indicate reserves of around 11,411–12,000 BTC, worth approximately $1.3–1.4 billion, accounting for nearly 30–40% of its GDP.
Is Bhutan Selling Bitcoin? Market Braces for Possible Shift
According to Arkham Intelligence, the Royal Government of Bhutan still holds over $1.23 billion worth of Bitcoin, making it one of the largest sovereign holders of BTC. However, the recent on-chain movement of $59 million to an address that tested a Binance deposit wallet has sparked speculation that Bhutan may be preparing to offload part of its holdings. While this does not confirm a sell-off, it has raised concerns at a time when the broader market is showing signs of fatigue.
How It Accumulated So Much
Bhutan’s accumulation stems from a uniquely sustainable model: starting around 2019, it turned surplus hydroelectric power into a low-cost, environmentally friendly engine for Bitcoin mining. By 2025, this strategy put Bhutan among the top three sovereign Bitcoin holders in the world.
Possible Motivation & Strategy

Analysts interpret these large transfers to Binance particularly timed with Bitcoin’s market peaks as strategic profit-taking rather than reactive selling. It appears Bhutan is managing its crypto reserves with deliberate timing, rather than panic.

Bitcoin Struggles Near Key Resistance After Breakdown from Range
Bitcoin is currently trading near $115,035, showing signs of weakness after breaking below its previous consolidation range between $117,500 and $122,000. The 12-hour chart highlights a bearish structure, with BTC failing to reclaim the 50-period moving average (blue), which is now acting as dynamic resistance around $115,724. Momentum appears to be fading, and volume has declined following the sell-off earlier this month.
Notably, the 100-period moving average (green) at $112,693 has provided short-term support, but the lack of bullish conviction raises concerns. A rejection at the 50MA could push Bitcoin back toward the $112K–$110K region, where the 200-period moving average (red) at $108,381 could act as a last-resort support before more aggressive selling pressure emerges.
The consolidation that once held Bitcoin in a tight range above $117K now acts as a resistance barrier. If BTC fails to climb back above that level soon, the market could transition into a deeper correction phase #Binance
