Recent Bitcoin transfers by Bhutanese government entities have drawn the attention of market participants. According to data shared by the onchain data platform Arkham Intelligence, the country transferred a total of 973 BTC to different addresses on Tuesday and Wednesday. The total value of these transfers is estimated at approximately $72.3 million.

According to Arkham’s report, approximately $44.4 million worth of Bitcoin was sent to two unknown wallet addresses in the last 24 hours alone. These transactions were reportedly carried out from addresses linked to Druk Holding & Investments, Bhutan’s sovereign wealth fund.

Among the transfers that took place, one of the most notable transactions was the sending of 20.5 BTC, worth approximately $1.52 million, to the over-the-counter (OTC) trading platform QCP Capital. Such transactions are generally preferred for large-scale asset sales that can be carried out without affecting market prices.

According to Arkham data, Bhutan has processed Bitcoin transfers totaling over $110 million since the beginning of the year. The country’s current reserves are estimated at approximately 4,453 BTC, valued at around $330 million. Bhutan’s Bitcoin holdings peaked at over 13,000 BTC in October 2024.

Bhutan had largely built its Bitcoin reserves through mining operations powered by hydroelectric energy. However, Arkham noted that the lack of new inflows exceeding $100,000 in the past year suggests the country may have ceased its mining activities.

Analysts say that such large, government-linked transfers could create potential selling pressure on the market, but the fact that most transactions are conducted through OTC channels may limit the direct price impact.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
