According to reports, the government of Bhutan moved 320 Ethereum (ETH) into 
staking on November 27, 2025. The transaction was routed through Figment.io, 
an institutional staking provider. Related Reading: Bitcoin Faces More 
Downside After Recent Crash, Data Shows At the time of the move, the Ether was 
valued at about $970,000. The transfer is being watched in both crypto and 
policy circles because it links a sovereign treasury to active participation 
in a public blockchain. Details Of The Staking Move Onchain Lens say the 320 
ETH created 10 new validators, matching the network rule that each validator 
requires 32 ETH. The payment and validator setup were recorded onchain and 
were visible to blockchain trackers shortly after the move. This is Bhutan’s 
largest ETH action since May 2025, when the nation moved 570 ETH to a Binance 
wallet, based on earlier disclosures. The Royal Government of Bhutan sent 320 
$ETH, worth $920.8K, for staking into #ETH2.0

Bhutan is not only holding crypto as an asset. By staking ETH, the country is 
helping to secure the Ethereum network and earning rewards that come from 
validator participation. Reports have disclosed the move also ties into 
national plans to shift parts of its digital identity project from Polygon to 
Ethereum. That plan would make the chain more than a place to park funds; it 
could become part of public infrastructure. What It Means For Bhutan Bhutan is 
already known to hold a sizeable amount of Bitcoin. Public data and media 
reporting put the country’s Bitcoin reserves at about 6,154 BTC, making 
Bitcoin the primary reserve asset. Staking ETH, even at a smaller scale 
compared with those holdings, signals that Bhutan is experimenting with using 
crypto not just for investment but as a tool for state services and network 
involvement. The action was described by some analysts as an example of a 
small state testing new financial and technical models. On Liquidity And 
Rewards When ETH is staked it becomes illiquid for a period tied to network 
rules. That means the staked tokens cannot be used for immediate spending or 
trading. At the same time, validators earn rewards that may add modest income 
to a state treasury. The trade-offs are clear: more participation in protocol 
security, less short-term flexibility in asset use. Several commentators asked 
whether sovereign staking will affect how other small nations treat crypto 
reserves. Related Reading: Crypto Wins Big: Thailand Moves To A 0% Tax On 
Local Exchange Gains Broader Crypto Context On the world stage the amount is 
modest, but the move is symbolic. Sovereign actors rarely operate validators 
on major smart-contract chains. This step was noticed because it ties public 
services and reserve management to one blockchain. Regulators, market 
watchers, and blockchain developers have been monitoring the transaction and 
related policy moves to see whether similar steps might follow elsewhere.
