Ethereum Cracks Under $1,700: Sell the Rally Near $1,750 as Bears Eye $1,380–$1,200 
The Kingdom of Bhutan has continued its aggressive reduction of state-linked cryptocurrency holdings, transferring 100.44 BTC (approximately USD 8.2 million) from government wallets on May 11, 2026. This most recent action forms part of a larger pattern whereby the country has sold more than USD 230 million in Bitcoin since the start of the year. The sovereign reserves have dropped by 76% from a high of 13,000 BTC in late 2024 to barely 3,119 BTC, worth around USD 252 million.
These sales have been methodically routed through major worldwide exchanges and liquidity providers including Binance and QCP Capital, under the management of Druk Holding & Investments (DHI). The liquidation approach has remained constant all spring; most notably, 319.7 BTC was sold in early April following numerous sizable batches in March totaling more than USD 72 million. Particularly noteworthy are these outflows since the monarchy hasn't seen any sizable new mining inflows in more than a year, indicating a shift from a "buy and hold" mining approach to one of active budgetary use.
The internal development objectives and outside financial pressures seem to define the timing of these sales. Analysts think the money is going toward paying for immediate financial needs or towards vital infrastructure projects, including the ambitious Gelephu Mindfulness City. Additionally, growing global tensions, particularly between the United States and Iran, have pushed up energy prices around the world, directly influencing the profitability and viability of Bhutan's hydro-powered mining operations. This strategic change emphasizes the country's initiatives to shield its economy from erratic crypto markets while guaranteeing liquidity for its long-term sovereign objectives.
