Bitcoin mining hosting in Bhutan
Bhutan mines on Himalayan hydropower, and Bull Miners' Bhutan capacity is from $0.0072/kWh at 1 available site. It is a small, state-shaped market: the large sites belong to Bitdeer under arrangements with Druk Holding, mining has the last claim on power, and output drops in the dry January–March winter.

Who Bhutan suits
Only for owners comfortable with seasonal downtime; most customers are better served in Paraguay, Kazakhstan or Georgia.
Cooling
The mining sites sit in the warm southern lowlands, not the cool highlands.
Key risks
- Very limited third-party capacity — the market is dominated by one operator and the state.
- Winter power gap (Jan–Mar): shutdowns or costly imported power.
- Concentration and sovereign-policy risk as the Gelephu Mindfulness City regime forms.

Mining hosting in Bhutan — questions
Does Bhutan mine Bitcoin?
Yes. Bhutan has mined Bitcoin through its sovereign fund Druk Holding and Investments, and Bitdeer operates large sites at Gedu and Jigmeling on Bhutanese hydropower.
Can I host a miner in Bhutan?
Capacity is very limited — check the live status on this page. Bhutan has no open hosting market like Paraguay or Kazakhstan.
Why does Bhutan mining slow down in winter?
Hydro output falls in the dry season. In January 2026 Bhutan generated about 700 MW and imported around 500 MW from India; mining has the lowest priority, so it is curtailed or runs on expensive imports.
Is Bhutan's mining power renewable?
Domestic generation is almost entirely hydro; winter imports from India are not necessarily renewable.
