Bhutan is pioneering a unique approach to investment by leveraging its abundant hydropower resources alongside Bitcoin mining through the Druk Holdings & Investments (DHI) sovereign wealth fund. According to Fortune magazine, DHI CEO Ujjwal Deep Dahal emphasizes the fund’s strategic use of Bhutan’s $3 billion assets—just 1% of Singapore’s Temasek—to capitalize on both opportunities for economic growth. The fund’s Bitcoin mining operations began in 2019 when prices were below $10,000 and have grown to reach over $100,000 today. Further enhancing its sustainable vision, DHI is also investing in a 2.5-gigawatt hydropower plant and a data center alongside this strategy. This initiative supports the ‘Gelephu Mindful Economic Zone,’ demonstrating Bhutan’s commitment to blending energy solutions with digital currency investments for continued economic progress.
