The Bhutanese government is shifting a portion of its Bitcoin (BTC<\/a>) holdings to a different wallet.<\/p>\n

The crypto de-anonymizing platform Arkham notes that Bhutan\u2019s government recently moved $7 million worth of BTC to a Segregated Witness (SegWit) address.<\/p>\n

Arkham says<\/a> the move could indicate a potential transfer or sale.<\/p>\n

\u201cBhutan will periodically move small amounts of BTC to Segwit addresses, which appear to be separate to its P2SH holdings cluster. They are down 10,000 BTC from their peak of ~13,390 BTC in October 2024.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

The crypto intelligence platform notes the Bhutanese government has moved $237.39 million worth of BTC from their wallets to Segwit addresses since the start of 2026.<\/p>\n

SegWit addresses are designed to offer lower transaction fees and better scalability<\/a> than Bitcoin\u2019s Legacy addresses.<\/p>\n

Bhutan\u2019s government currently owns $234.33 million worth of BTC and about $68,000 worth of Ethereum (ETH<\/a>), per data<\/a> from Arkham.<\/p>\n

The Bhutanese government has long expressed an interest in digital assets: Back in 2021, the nation\u2019s Royal Monastery Authority (RMA) collaborated with Ripple on a central bank digital currency (CBDC) pilot project, exploring the potential for CBDCs to enhance cross-border payments.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin is trading at $77,571 at time of writing. The top-ranked crypto asset by market cap is up more than 1.1% in the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n
