In a fresh move for their economy, Bhutan’s latest administrative area has decided to incorporate Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Binance Coin into its reserve assets as part of a novel financial approach.
In a novel move, Gelephu Mindfulness City – a new administrative region within Bhutan – is considering the integration of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Binance Coin (BNB) into its strategic reserves. If successful, this will mark one of the first instances where digital assets are formally incorporated into a financial strategy at a regional level.
On January 8th, GMC announced that they intend to incorporate cryptocurrencies as part of their strategy. This action is designed to strengthen the region’s financial stability and adaptability, with Bitcoin mining being a key aspect of this evolution in the area’s economic engagement with digital currencies.
In simple terms, the innovative city of Gelephu in Bhutan is leading the way by integrating cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB) and other digital assets into its strategic financial reserves.

In this area, we’ll prioritize cryptocurrencies that have substantial market value and high trading volume, making them convenient for exchanges. Additionally, we aim for these digital assets to be minted on more established, secure blockchains that facilitate the tracking of transactions on the blockchain itself.
As an analyst, I find myself stationed strategically in Bhutan’s southern plains, where the thriving economies of South Asia converge. My positioning here is not by mere chance, but rather a calculated move that aligns with the recent enactment of the “Application of Laws Act 2024.” This groundbreaking legislation establishes a solid legal infrastructure for digital asset services within my locale, making it ripe for innovation and growth in the digital economy.
Officially, they aim to strengthen the development of the digital asset sector within a secure regulatory framework. As stated in their recent announcement, GMC intends to convene an international gathering with government representatives and key players from the industry next March, focusing on employing digital assets in strategic national reserves for discussion.
Currently, Bhutan boasts a significant Bitcoin holding exceeding $1 billion, thanks to the soaring prices in November 2024. This isn’t a recent development for Bhutan as it has been investing substantial amounts into digital assets for quite some time. In fact, back in May 2023, Bhutan dedicated 5% of its GDP towards Bitcoin mining and partnered with miners to expand its crypto portfolio.
