The Bhutan government has sold another 6.7 million worth of Bitcoin according to data quoted by BSCNews. It is provided by an on-chain analytics company called Arkham. On the face of it, the headline is an indication of an increase in sell pressure. The scale however, tells a more relaxed story. Bitcoin is trading around 72000 dollars and this sale is a very small percentage of the amount that is being traded every day. Nevertheless, government-related transfers are always under the spotlight.

Bhutan Holding Hundreds of Millions in BTC
In spite of the recent sale, Bhutan still retains about 372 million Bitcoin worth in recognizable wallets. The balance left there indicates something. Bhutan is not quitting Bitcoin. Rather, the nation seems to be liquidity handling. It is being sold selectively, but still with a large long-term hold. This trend is in line with previous on-chain volume that was recorded since the end of 2025.
The Bitcoin plan in Bhutan was not a start. In 2019, the nation had begun mining Bitcoin quietly on excess hydropower. This made Bhutan gain more than 13,000 BTC by 2024. The mining process transformed renewable energy to computerized resources, which aids the diversification of the national incomes. After that, Bhutan has sold BTC periodically. The proceeds are said to finance infrastructure projects and economic requirements as opposed to speculative trading.
Market Impact Limited
The market reaction has not been intense so far. A sale of 6.7 million dollars does not have significant impacts on the supply of Bitcoin. In the past, bigger government Bitcoin disbursements have not caused any lasting declines. Arkham has already conducted a study that market typically absorbs these sales in short time. This is thus a move which will be noise rather than structural risk in the short run.
More to the point, the fact that Bhutan retains its holdings supports the long-term trust in Bitcoin as the asset of the reserve. The governments do not hold nine-figure BTC positions without conviction. The act of selling parts whilst retaining the bulk is tactical rather than panicky. Concisely, Bhutan does not view Bitcoin as a trade, but rather as a treasury asset.
