El Salvador: Pioneering Bitcoin's Bright Future

El Salvador became the sixth country with over 6,000 BTC, solidifying its Bitcoin leadership.

The National Bitcoin Office's portfolio tracker shows that the nation added one Bitcoin on Dec. 29, raising its total to 6,000.77 BTC, worth $569.3 million.

President Nayib Bukele's portfolio tracker shows a 108.02% increase in Bitcoin investments, averaging $45,450 per coin.

El Salvador bought its first 200 BTC on Sept. 6, 2021, just before becoming the first country to legalize Bitcoin.

According to BitBo's Bitcoin Treasuries statistics, El Salvador ranks sixth in Bitcoin reserves, after the US, China, the UK, Ukraine, and Bhutan.

The Bukele government sticks to their Bitcoin plan despite worldwide condemnation, particularly from the IMF.


In a Dec. 19 social media post, El Salvador's National Bitcoin Office Director, Stacy Herbert, suggested accelerating Bitcoin purchases.

The government has said that Bitcoin is crucial to its economic strategy and will not sell its holdings.

El Salvador's official Bitcoin wallet, Chivo, will be sold or phased out, with private-sector wallets replacing it.

Meanwhile, the $1.4 billion IMF pact awaits clearance. An end to four years of talks strained by the government's Bitcoin policy may be imminent.

US States May Reserve Bitcoin
Following House Republican leader Derek Merrin's measure, Ohio is the latest US state to contemplate adding Bitcoin to its coffers.

Texas and Pennsylvania have established Bitcoin reserves.

On December 12, 2024, Texas Representative Giovanni Capriglione presented the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, which would require the comptroller to keep Bitcoin for five years.

In November, Pennsylvania Representative Mike Cabell proposed a measure to enable the treasury to hold up to 10% of its balance sheet in Bitcoin to hedge against economic volatility.

Corporate Bitcoin holders including MicroStrategy and Metaplanet have increased their holdings.
