El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele has generated a strong reaction on social media after sharing on his Instagram account a balance sheet that highlights the benefits obtained by his government with the investment in Bitcoin. In the post, Bukele showed a portfolio graph that includes a current balance of $540,870,720, reflecting a total gain of 101.76% since the start of the investment strategy.
The chart shows a total invested of $268,082,725.80, with an unrealized gain of over $272 million, reinforcing its message about the sustainability of its commitment to cryptocurrency as a driver of the Salvadoran economy.
The Instagram story also included a short text that seems to sum up his position: "Time always proves us right," accompanied by ascending graphics that symbolize the success of his management in this area.
This publication comes at a time when Bitcoin has regained significant value in the global market, once again surpassing critical levels that had raised doubts about the viability of its adoption by nations such as El Salvador.
Bukele's strategy, launched in 2021, positioned El Salvador as the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. Although the decision was met with criticism both internally and externally, the results shared on this occasion seem to reinforce the narrative that the investment is paying off.
However, economic and cryptocurrency experts remain divided on the long-term sustainability of this policy, noting that the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and may present significant risks.
The reaction on social media has been mixed: while some celebrate the success shown by Bukele, others question whether this gain will translate into direct benefits for Salvadoran citizens, who still face significant economic challenges.
This latest media move reaffirms Bukele as one of the most prominent leaders in cryptocurrency adoption, placing him once again at the center of the global debate on the digital financial future.
