21-9-2025 – El Salvador has acquired an additional 8 Bitcoins over the past week, pushing its national reserves to 6,326.18 coins valued at approximately $732 million. This latest purchase aligns with the Central American nation’s strategy to accumulate Bitcoin amid fluctuating market conditions.
Since adopting Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021 under President Nayib Bukele, El Salvador has pursued regular acquisitions, often during price dips, to bolster its treasury and promote cryptocurrency adoption. The move underscores the government’s view of Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and a tool for financial inclusion, despite criticism from international bodies like the IMF over potential economic risks.
The current holdings reflect a significant increase from earlier years, with the portfolio now representing a substantial portion of the country’s assets.
