Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻
El Salvador’s Bitcoin Holdings Reach 6,275 Under President Bukele’s Strategic Reserve Plan.
El Salvador has achieved a new milestone in its cryptocurrency strategy, reaching 6,275 bitcoins in its strategic reserve. This accomplishment follows the daily acquisition of bitcoin by the Bukele administration since 2022, reinforcing the country’s commitment to adopting digital assets as part of its national treasury.
Over the past seven days, the government purchased additional bitcoins at a discount due to a temporary dip in the cryptocurrency’s value to $113,000 per BTC, further strengthening the nation’s reserves. According to President Nayib Bukele, El Salvador has invested over $300 million in bitcoin purchases, leaving unrealized gains exceeding $400 million, as none of the acquired coins have been sold. The total reserve currently has a dollar value of $709.2 million.
El Salvador has now become the sixth country in the world with the largest bitcoin holdings, trailing only the United States, China, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, and Bhutan, according to investment firm Bitbo. Unlike most of these countries, which primarily accumulated bitcoin through corporate seizures, El Salvador remains the global leader in state-led purchases of the cryptocurrency.
