Bhutan bets on Bitcoin mining to boost the economic revival of the "Extreme City" special zone

According to the Nikkei Asia, Bhutan, once known as the "Kingdom of Happiness," is facing a severe outflow of young talent and a high unemployment rate.

To revitalize the economy, the Bhutanese government is supporting a state-led Bitcoin mining initiative and promoting the "Gelephu Mindfulness City" special administrative zone project—this is a planned special zone centered around environmental protection, hoping to inject new momentum into national development through the cryptocurrency economy.
