El Salvador’s decision to invest in Bitcoin has proven risky but potentially profitable. The country owns 722 Bitcoins, purchased at an average price below $42,000 each. With Bitcoin’s current price exceeding $75,880, El Salvador’s holdings have increased in value by 81%, yielding nearly $24.54 million in gains. This strategy began on November 18, 2022, when President Nayib Bukele started buying one Bitcoin per day, even when prices were low at $16,700.
This consistent buying approach has allowed the government to build a strong position at a favorable average price. The investment shows calculated risk-taking with notable short-term benefits, significantly boosting the country’s Bitcoin portfolio.
Beyond daily Bitcoin purchases, El Salvador is pursuing broader Bitcoin-related projects to foster economic growth, including “Bitcoin City,” a planned city powered by geothermal energy and funded by Bitcoin bonds, aimed at positioning the country as a hub for blockchain and crypto technology.
However, while Bitcoin profits are promising, national adoption has faced challenges. Despite Bitcoin being legal tender since 2021, only about 7.5% of Salvadorans reportedly use it for everyday transactions.
