Promote with Leviathan NewsArkham-tagged wallets tied to Bhutan have sent more than $1B in BTC to exchanges and trading firms over the past year, but the country says it has not sold any of it. The mismatch turns the Bhutan treasury story from a simple sovereign selloff into an attribution and custody problem: coins can leave labeled wallets without proving liquidation. That matters because Bhutan’s stack came from state-backed hydropower mining and remains one of the most watched nation-state BTC treasuries, with Arkham also estimating roughly $230M of 2026 outflows and about 3,119 BTC remaining.
