Bhutan's bold move is making waves: the nation is planning to liquidate a significant portion of its Bitcoin holdings—roughly 10,000 coins—to finance the construction of an entirely new city. This marks a fascinating intersection of national development strategy and cryptocurrency adoption at the sovereign level. The decision signals how some governments are viewing their digital asset reserves not just as speculative holdings, but as tangible capital for infrastructure projects. It raises interesting questions about valuation timing, market impact, and the real-world utility of Bitcoin in state-level economic planning. As traditional economies grapple with fiscal constraints, Bhutan's move could set a precedent for how nations leverage their crypto portfolios for development goals.

Bhutan's move this time is really bold, directly using BTC as a foundational treasury. This approach is a bit wild... What if they dump the market?

Bhutan's move is truly brilliant, directly treating BTC as infrastructure expenses? Or just 10,000 coins, what a huge move that is.

Wow, Bhutan is directly using BTC as building materials this time? Throwing 10,000 coins to build a city, how much confidence does that take?
