The bank said the transfer strengthens the physical backing of its TER Gold Token, a digital asset where each token equals 0.01 grammes of fine gold. With part of its audited international reserves now held within Bhutan, the bank aims to provide greater assurance and accessibility to investors.
From the end of March 2026, TER token holders will be able to convert their digital holdings into physical gold, choosing between 20-gram coins and 1-kilogram bars. The relocation of gold to Paro is expected to make redemption simpler and more convenient for local investors.
The initiative also aligns with the long-term vision of Gelephu Mindfulness City, which seeks to build a financial system focused on sustainability, innovation, and responsible growth.
Nearly 100,000 Bhutanese citizens currently hold TER tokens, along with more than 100 international investors. DK Bank indicated that this shipment is likely the first of several as it works to expand its gold reserves within the country.
