Frequently asked questions

Which exchanges accept Credit or debit card in Bhutan?

Of the 3 exchanges we recommend in Bhutan, Binance, Coinmama, Paxful accept Credit or debit card for funding purchases.

Is buying bitcoin with Credit or debit card legal in Bhutan?

Bhutan's position is genuinely unclear. No law authorizes or prohibits private cryptocurrency trading, the Royal Monetary Authority treats the ngultrum as the only legal tender and licenses no exchange, and official communications have urged caution. At the same time the state itself mines bitcoin through Druk Holding and Investments, the government's commercial arm, using surplus hydropower, a program publicly confirmed in 2023. Individuals who trade do so on foreign platforms at their own risk.
