3iQ and Gelephu Mindfulness City Announce Strategic Partnership for Bitcoin Management
On July 30, 2026, 3iQ Corp. announced a strategic partnership with Bhutan's Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC) to manage a portion of its Bitcoin reserves and help build an institutional-grade digital asset ecosystem in the region. As part of this collaboration, 3iQ will oversee a dedicated mandate backed by GMC’s bitcoin treasury while investing in local talent development and establishing long-term operations within Gelephu. This partnership aligns with Bhutan's broader initiative to allocate up to 10,000 Bitcoin from its national holdings toward the city's development. The move reflects GMC's strategy of combining national capital with institutional-grade expertise to build a digital offshore financial hub in southern Bhutan. Both parties emphasized their commitment to sustainability and innovation while leveraging global best practices. 3iQ CEO Pascal St-Jean highlighted the firm’s dedication to responsible, transparent management aligned with GMC’s vision for holistic development. The partnership is expected to attract leading asset managers and talent globally as part of a broader ecosystem-building effort.
