Bhutan’s BTC acquisition model
According to public information, Bhutan’s bitcoin reserves are mainly accumulated through state-supported hydroelectric power mining. It builds mining operations based on abundant hydro resources and does not obtain them through direct purchases on the open market. This means the cost basis of Bhutan’s BTC holdings is lower than the market purchase price.
For comparison, since El Salvador announced Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021, it has continued to buy Bitcoin on the open market as a long-term national reserve. Bhutan, by contrast, obtains BTC via hydro mining and has continued to sell its holdings since 2026.
