Bhutan just made a major move—they're deploying 10,000 BTC from their national reserves to develop a new Special Administrative Region and economic zone called Gelephu Mindfulness City.



This is massive. We're talking about a sovereign nation making a strategic Bitcoin bet to fund real-world infrastructure. The numbers tell the story: Bhutan currently holds approximately $523.4M worth of BTC in their reserves. That's serious dry powder for a nation-scale project.

What makes this significant? When governments start committing Bitcoin to long-term initiatives rather than treating it as speculative assets, it signals confidence in the ecosystem's durability. It also suggests Bhutan sees crypto not just as a financial instrument but as essential to their economic future.

For traders and market observers, this kind of institutional commitment—whether from nations, corporations, or funds—often precedes broader adoption waves. Keep an eye on how this narrative develops.

Something's off. Can Bhutan really play like this? It feels like gambling on the country's fate.

Something's off... How can a country that doesn't clone and doesn't make money still have spare cash to play with Bitcoin? They've gone bankrupt long ago, right?

Something doesn't seem right. Will Bhutan really go all in so directly... It feels like there's a more complex political consideration behind this.

That's not right. Why would countries with less than $100,000 USD dare to go all-in on Bitcoin? I checked the gas tracker, and now the Gwei is insanely high. How much BTC can national-level cross-chain miners' fees eat up?
