Bhutan Picks 3iQ to Manage Bitcoin Treasury

Bhutan is making another big move in crypto. The Gelephu Mindfulness City recently named digital asset manager 3iQ to oversee an undisclosed portion of its Bitcoin treasury. Alongside managing these funds, the firm will help build local investment capacity and support the region's growing digital economy.

This partnership shows how sovereign states are starting to treat digital assets as serious financial reserves. Instead of going it alone, governments are trusting experienced crypto funds to handle institutional storage and strategy. Bhutan already has a strong reputation for Bitcoin mining powered by clean energy, and this step brings them even deeper into the ecosystem.

Traders should keep an eye on how other nations manage their public crypto reserves. As Bhutan sets the blueprint for state level digital asset management, more countries might follow their lead in teaming up with private crypto firms.
