El Salvador continues its steady path toward becoming a Bitcoin powerhouse. Over the past seven days, the country added 8 more BTC to its national reserves, bringing the total stash to 6,200.18 BTC. At current market prices, that’s valued at approximately $652 million.
Since becoming the first nation to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021, El Salvador has consistently bought BTC — often during market dips. This week’s small but symbolic addition underscores the government’s long-term commitment to the cryptocurrency.
President Nayib Bukele has made it clear: Bitcoin is part of El Salvador’s long-term economic strategy. Instead of short-term gains, the country is focused on accumulating BTC as a digital asset that could serve as a hedge against inflation and a catalyst for financial innovation.
Recent purchases, although modest in number, reflect a disciplined dollar-cost-averaging approach. By accumulating gradually, El Salvador avoids the risk of buying at market tops while steadily increasing its holdings.
The move has also inspired interest from other governments and sparked global debate about Bitcoin’s role in sovereign finance.
Beyond accumulation, El Salvador is building out a Bitcoin-centric economy. From “Bitcoin City” to geothermal mining initiatives powered by volcanoes, the country is investing in infrastructure that supports BTC adoption.
If Bitcoin’s value continues to grow over the years, El Salvador’s proactive accumulation strategy could pay off massively, not just economically but geopolitically, positioning the small Central American nation as a bold innovator on the global stage.
