Bhutan’s Bitcoin holdings are now equivalent to 32% of its $3.15 billion GDP, according to IMF data from October 2024.
El Salvador is another nation reaping gains from Bitcoin’s rally.
The country’s Bitcoin holdings, totaling 5,930 BTC, are now worth over $482 million, with unrealized profits nearing $214 million, according to Drop Stab data.
