3iQ recently announced a strategic partnership with Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC), a Special Administrative Region in southern Bhutan. As part of the partnership, 3iQ will manage a dedicated mandate backed by a portion of GMC's bitcoin treasury — a mandate that sits alongside a broader commitment to talent development, knowledge transfer, and long-term economic opportunity for the region.
In this interview, Matteo Dante Perruccio, Chief Strategy Officer at 3iQ, speaks with Rachel Pether, Head of MENA at 3iQ, about:
- Managing a sovereign bitcoin mandate
- The growing relevance of digital assets to sovereign investors
- The evolution of digital asset strategies across the Gulf region
- Abu Dhabi's and the wider MENA region's emergence as hubs for digital asset innovation and investment
“Our obligation is to protect these assets and to help accumulate more Bitcoin for deployment into the project and the development of GMC.”
Matteo Dante Perruccio,
Chief Strategy Officer at 3iQ
