🇧🇹 Bhutan has entered the top three countries with the largest state-held Bitcoin reserves — now totaling $1.3 billion, equivalent to nearly 40% of the country's GDP.
Unlike other nations, the kingdom did not purchase BTC on the open market or seize it through confiscations. Instead, since 2020, it quietly built six mining centers powered by surplus hydroelectric energy.
Profits from Bitcoin’s price growth allowed the government to fund public sector salary increases and boost foreign currency reserves. The project has become part of Bhutan’s broader strategy to integrate cryptocurrencies into its economy and tourism sector.

🏦 The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) stated that stablecoins are not suitable as money — they are unstable, depend on individual issuers, require full backing, and often fail to meet anti-money laundering standards.
According to the BIS, such tokens can undermine state control over monetary systems and contribute to financial misconduct.
Still, stablecoins have some advantages — they are user-friendly, easily programmable, and enable fast, especially cross-border, transfers.

🪙 Paolo Ardoino stated that Tether plans to become the world’s largest Bitcoin miner by the end of 2025. According to him, mining is not only a source of revenue but also a strategic way to protect the company’s investments — especially given that Tether already holds over 100 000 BTC.
While directly buying BTC is generally more profitable, Tether believes it's essential to contribute to the security of the Bitcoin network.
The company does not disclose its hashrate, but since 2023, it has invested over $2 billion in mining and energy infrastructure across Latin America, launching 15 projects in Uruguay, Paraguay, and El Salvador.
