The government of Bhutan has begun to offload its Bitcoin holdings as prices exceeded the crucial $70,000 mark.
Recent data from Arkham Intelligence reveals that a wallet associated with the Bhutanese government transferred over $66 million in Bitcoin to a Binance deposit wallet, indicating plans to sell on the prominent exchange.
This transfer occurred in two separate transactions on October 29, coinciding with Bitcoin’s rise above $70,000 for the first time since early June.
