Just noticed Bhutan moved another 519 BTC to exchanges on Wednesday, worth about $36.75 million. That's the third major transfer in as many weeks, and the pace is honestly wild compared to what we saw earlier this year.



So here's what caught my eye - Bhutan's been liquidating hard in 2026. They've already dumped roughly $152 million worth of bitcoin, and their holdings dropped from about 13,000 coins at the end of 2024 down to around 4,453 now. The transfers started smaller in January and February (like $5-15 million clips), but March is a different beast with these $35-45 million moves.

What's interesting is the pattern. Most of these coins keep going to QCP Capital, a Singapore trading firm, which screams OTC arrangement rather than random exchange dumps. Bhutan clearly has a structured selling plan going on.

Here's the thing though - Bhutan pledged up to 10,000 BTC for their Gelephu Mindfulness City project back in December. At the time, that was worth around $860 million. Now they've got fewer than 4,500 coins left. The math doesn't work anymore unless they completely reverse course. Worth watching how this plays out, especially if bitcoin keeps moving like it has been.
