Bhutan Shifts $22 Million in Bitcoin to Trading Venues After Months of Silence

Transfers to QCP Capital alongside a labeled exchange wallet look consistent with liquidity management rather than confirmed liquidation.

Overview

  • Arkham Intelligence tracked two moves over the past week totaling about 284 BTC, including 184.03 BTC on Wednesday and 100.82 BTC five days earlier.
  • Portions of the funds went to QCP Capital and a Binance hot wallet, with other coins routed through new or intermediary addresses that can indicate custodial reshuffling.
  • On-chain data so far shows no sustained exchange inflows tied to these wallets, and analysts say the flows resemble routine treasury operations or structured-product activity.
  • Bhutan’s tracked holdings stand near 5,700 BTC worth roughly $412–$417 million, with Bitcoin comprising more than 99% of the sovereign crypto portfolio.
  • The movements follow a known pattern of tranche-based disposals that peaked in mid to late September 2025, while the latest activity drew attention as bitcoin slid toward $70,000.
