The Royal Government of Bhutan transferred 250 BTC, valued at approximately $18.46 million, on April 15, 2026, as Bitcoin reclaimed the $74,000 price level. This latest movement brings the total volume of Bitcoin outflows from Bhutan’s sovereign holdings to 3,247 BTC for the year 2026. The transaction, tracked by Arkham Intelligence, marks a 73% decline in reserves from their peak, with total liquidation value exceeding $240 million this year. Current projections suggest that Bhutan's reserves could be completely exhausted by September 2026 if the current liquidation velocity persists. Analysts note that the timing suggests a strategic reduction of assets during periods of price strength. Investors continue to monitor these sovereign wallet movements for their potential influence on the BTC/USD trajectory during this critical technical phase.
