Bhutan has transferred out another 175 Bitcoins! This year's cash-out has exceeded $42.5 million.

According to on-chain data platform Arkham Intelligence tracking, after selling $6.8 million worth of Bitcoin to QCP Capital last month, the Government of Bhutan moved again on Monday, transferring 175 Bitcoins valued at approximately $11.85 million.
According to Arkham Intelligence, the Bhutanese government has transferred out about $42.5 million worth of Bitcoin so far this year. Despite multiple recent transfers, Bhutan remains one of the few sovereign nations holding a large amount of Bitcoin, currently holding 5,400 BTC worth about $374 million, managed by the Bhutanese Sovereign Wealth Fund Druk Holding & Investments (DHI).

Arkham Intelligence states: “Bhutan regularly sells part of its Bitcoin holdings, with each sale ranging between $5 million and $10 million.”

However, compared to the large move in July last year, the recent transfers are relatively small. At that time, Bhutan transferred out over 510 BTC in just 4 days, worth about $62 million; after that asset transfer, Bhutan still held over 11,000 BTC (worth around $1.4 billion at the time), accounting for more than 40% of the country’s GDP.
Since July last year, Bitcoin has fallen from $119,000 to around $69,000, reflecting the sovereign fund’s need to face the reality of asset devaluation during the market correction and adopt a more cautious approach to cashing out.
