Bhutan is accelerating sales of its bitcoin holdings, raising the prospect that its national reserves could be effectively depleted around September if the current pace continues. It recently sold an additional 100 BTC worth about $8.1 million. Arkham Intelligence estimates that if average monthly sales of about $50 million continue, Bhutan could exhaust its remaining holdings before the end of September. Bhutan has sold $230.39 million of bitcoin so far this year and has about $252 million left.

Major listed bitcoin mining stocks have risen across the board in 2026 even as bitcoin is down about 20 percent from the start of the year, Cointelegraph reported.

The strength is linked to big miners expanding AI and high-performance computing businesses.
