Bhutan Government BTC Transfers Sparking Concerns Amidst Market Recovery
The crypto market is slowly recovering today after a few weeks of dull performance. While Bitcoin is trading above the $87,500 level, Ether reclaimed its $2,000 mark. As institutional investments are increasing combined with the announcement of possible tariff reduction on April 02, the market started to soar.
Meanwhile, the Bhutan government’s BTC transfer is gaining traction across the crypto community. A transfer of such a big volume will have an impact on the market. Thus, Bitcoin enthusiasts and traders are concerned about whether this transfer will wipe out the minimal gains Bitcoin made today.
However, this is not the first time the Bhutan government made a considerable Bitcoin transfer. In January this year, the Bhutan government transferred 633 Bitcoins to unknown addresses. At that time, they held around 11,000 Bitcoins.
The Bhutanese government is known for its engagement with Bitcoin beyond BTC investment. It encourages Bitcoin mining in the nation leveraging its hydropower resources. The government has not only purchased but also mined Bitcoin over the past few years.
