The country’s Bitcoin reserve now stands at 6,044 BTC, valued at nearly $610 million, in alignment with President Nayib Bukele’s commitment to Bitcoin.
According to its National Bitcoin Office, El Salvador has added $1 million worth of Bitcoin to its Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, purchasing 12 BTC over two days. This acquisition comes despite a recent agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to scale back some of its crypto policies, including reducing government involvement in the Chivo wallet and making private-sector Bitcoin acceptance voluntary.
The latest purchase increases the country’s Bitcoin holdings to 6,044 BTC, valued at nearly $610 million. El Salvador’s Bitcoin investments remain consistent with President Nayib Bukele’s vision, even as a recent survey indicated that 92% of Salvadorans do not use Bitcoin for transactions.
El Salvador’s commitment to Bitcoin began in September 2021 when it became the first nation to adopt the cryptocurrency as legal tender. While other countries like Bhutan are investing heavily in digital assets, El Salvador’s bold moves continue to draw global attention and spark debate over its long-term crypto strategy.
