by

Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, everyone’s favorite crypto cheerleader, casually dropped a bombshell: he’s the puppet master behind the UAE’s sudden love affair with Bitcoin mining. Because nothing says “diplomacy” like convincing a nation of oil barons to trade crude for crypto. 🤷♂️

UAE goes full Bitcoin-influencer mode

Arkham, the crypto sleuth squad, spilled the tea: the UAE has mined $453.6 million worth of Bitcoin via Citadel. Not just mining-hoarding, like a dragon with a gold complex and a Tesla coil obsession. Their last major Bitcoin transfer? Four months ago. Translation: “We’re not touching that till retirement.”

Arkham also noted the UAE’s Bitcoin stash is up $344 million in profits-if you ignore the cost of running a power plant. A classic “look at my gains, ignore my debt” flex.

Enter Pete Rizzo, crypto’s hype man, who declared the UAE now treats Bitcoin like a “store of value.” Because, sure, why not? They’ve got $1 billion in BTC, which is either genius or a very expensive midlife crisis.

“I might have done a tiny bit of advocacy for this. 😆”

Cue the humblebrag emoji. CZ, the crypto Santa Claus of geopolitics, has been checking his list (and his ledger) twice. MoUs with Kazakhstan? Check. Lobbying in the U.S.? Check. Now the UAE? Turns out CZ’s “advocacy” is just a fancy word for “convincing nations to buy what he’s selling.” Revolutionary. 🎉

Not everyone’s HODLing-some are panic-selling

While the UAE plays Bitcoin keep-away, Bhutan’s doing the opposite. Remember when they poured $65 million into BTC in 2025? Their reserves hit $1.2 billion, then reality hit. Now they’re dumping coins faster than a crypto newbie seeing their first red candle.

Their excuse? Production costs dropped “to a new high relative to prices.” Which is finance-speak for “we panicked and sold at a discount.” Classic.

Bitcoin’s price? $66,507, down 1.73% in 24 hours. Because of course it is. Volatility: the gift that keeps on giving. 🎁
