Bhutan has pledged 10,000 BTC (≈ USD 1B) to fund Gelephu Mindfulness City, a project aligned with Countering the Financing of Terrorism protocols. Construction is active with a masterplan in place. El Salvador’s Bitcoin City remains stalled, awaiting Volcano Bonds. Bhutan’s move follows a broader trend, as markets await bitcoin ETF approval. The country is leveraging sovereign mining reserves, contrasting with El Salvador’s delayed port upgrades. Both nations aim to position themselves in the crypto space, but Bhutan’s execution is ahead.
