First Nation to Buy Bitcoin El Salvador Passes $400 Million in Holdings

El Salvador's bold move to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender and invest in the cryptocurrency is starting to pay off. With over $400 million worth of Bitcoin accumulated, President Nayib Bukele's vision for a Bitcoin-friendly economy is materializing.

Since legalizing Bitcoin in 2021, El Salvador has actively purchased Bitcoin through various channels, including daily acquisitions and a passport program. Bukele recently unveiled the government's Bitcoin address, emphasizing transparency in the country's cryptocurrency holdings.

With over 5,700 BTC acquired at an average price of approximately $42,700, El Salvador's investment has seen significant appreciation as Bitcoin's value surged past $70,000. Bukele remains committed to increasing the country's Bitcoin holdings, aiming to buy one Bitcoin daily until it becomes unaffordable with fiat currencies.

Bukele sees Bitcoin as a catalyst for economic growth, particularly through tourism, remittances, and foreign investment. Additionally, Bitcoin's fixed supply offers protection against inflation, positioning El Salvador for long-term financial stability.

Despite initial skepticism, Bukele's Bitcoin strategy appears vindicated as the cryptocurrency's value continues to rise. If global adoption of Bitcoin accelerates, El Salvador's early investment could position it as a pioneering Bitcoin-rich nation, reshaping its economic future.
