A good chunk of this selling had come from major holders as they moved to secure profits on their holdings. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/bhutan-offloads-22m-in-btc-eyes-shift-to-hyper\/\">amid the sell-offs<\/a>, one interesting name continues to pop up, with selling ramping up to over 8,000 BTC. The name is Bhutan, a small country of less than one million people, which held almost $1.5 billion in BTC at one point.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p2\">Bhutan\u2019s Bitcoin Sell-Offs Cross 8,000 BTC<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">For years now, Bhutan has been mining and stacking Bitcoin through a <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/has-bhutan-stopped-mining-bitcoin\/\">government-sponsored mining operation<\/a>. Over time, this stack grew to thousands of coins, reaching 13,000 BTC back in 2024. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/intel.arkm.com\/explorer\/entity\/druk-holding-investments?_gl=1*q62jdw*_gcl_au*ODI5MDA0MTg3LjE3NzQ0OTk4NzE.\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">data<\/a> from Arkham Intelligence, the country\u2019s stack was worth almost $1.5 billion at its peak in 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">With the price rising over $100,000, though, Bhutan had begun to reduce its BTC holdings gradually, selling off millions of dollars\u2019 worth of coins at a time. At first, the country moved slowly, initially starting out by sending USDT balances to the Binance crypto exchange. But then, things began to change as it started to trim its Bitcoin holdings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">This sell-off trend continued into the year 2025, with the government selling off BTC in stacks worth between $1 million and $5 million at the start of the year. However, there has been a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/bitcoin-final-sell-off-coming\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">major shift in the sell-off volumes<\/a> in the month of March, as Bhutan moved hundreds of BTC in single transactions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Some of the notable transactions include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/bitcoin-worth-nearly-12-million-moved-by-bhutan-in-fresh-on-chain-activity\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">175 BTC worth $11.86 million<\/a> that was moved on March 9. Then a 205.52 BTC move worth $15.14 million was moved out on March 17. As time went on, the amounts only got higher, crossing 500 BTC in single transactions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">On March 18, 595.84 BTC worth $44.44 million was moved out of the government\u2019s wallet, and then 519.7 BTC worth $36.75 million was moved out on March 25. This latest move brought Bhutan\u2019s Bitcoin holdings down to 4,453 BTC, meaning the country has sold around 8,547 BTC since its holdings peaked at 13,000 in 2025.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-671686\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-26-at-14.17.42.png?w=640&amp;resize=640%2C295\" alt=\"Bhutan bitcoin\" width=\"640\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-26-at-14.17.42.png?w=1720 1720w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-26-at-14.17.42.png?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-26-at-14.17.42.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-26-at-14.17.42.png?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-26-at-14.17.42.png?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-26-at-14.17.42.png?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot-2026-03-26-at-14.17.42.png?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">So far, the country seems to have made the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/bitcoin-news\/bitcoin-historically-surges-54-on-average-post-us-midterm-elections-binance\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">most transfers to Binance<\/a>, reaching over $100 million sent to the crypto exchange.
