Bhutan has been building a large-scale Bitcoin mining operation and seems to be using Bitcoin as a strategic currency reserve.

This Central American country has achieved an 80% return on its Bitcoin investments, with unrealized profits of nearly $214 million. But things have not always gone smoothly.
El Salvador began its Bitcoin investment strategy two months before Bitcoin peaked in the 2020-2021 cycle, and soon after the market crash in 2022, it faced widespread media criticism.
The nation led by Nayib Bukele continues to invest in Bitcoin using dollar-cost averaging, buying only 1 Bitcoin per day.
