- In the meantime, BTC price has rebounded above $62,000.

Bhutan Govt. Offloads $43 Million In Bitcoin
The largest single transaction, according to Arkham Intelligence data, was 634 BTC worth approximately $39.6 million was transferred from a wallet associated with the government to a Binance deposit address. Another 66 BTC valued approximately $4.12 million were also sent to the same exchange deposit wallet in a separate transaction.
Moreover, the combined amount of the two transfers amounted to 700 BTC. It is worth approximately $43.75 million based on the current BTC price.
Even with the whiff of a large sell-off, a move to a central exchange does not necessarily indicate a real sale. Exchange wallets can be used by governments and institutional investors for various purposes. These include over-the-counter (OTC) trades, collateral management, intra-fund consolidations, or liquidity operations. It remains unclear what prompted the transfers.

According to the blockchain records, around 1,750 BTC is still in Bhutan’s hands. This stash is valued at around $109.27 million after the most recent transfers.
The recent activity comes after a couple of past Bitcoin transactions by Bhutan-related wallets back in the previous month. Some of the earlier transfers that have been traced to Arkham involved 364.984 BTC worth some $22.26 million and 188.558 BTC valued near $11.47 million.
It also included movement of 150.458 BTC valued at approximately $9.14 million. Overall, it sent 1,095 BTC, totaling over $67 million at the time.
Bitcoin Climbs Above $62,000
Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s resurgence above $62,000 coincided with the most recent U.S. labor market data. The U.S. economy created 57,000 jobs in June, far short of the 115,000 expected and a downward revision of 43,000 jobs in May, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The U.S. jobless rate was 4.2%, just below the 4.3% forecasts. It suggests that the markets’ fears that employment data may have been weaker than anticipated were unwarranted. This narrative is supporting hopes that the Federal Reserve will keep cutting rates to combat inflation.
