President Nayib Bukeleโs acquisition of 8 BTC aligns with his continued strategy for bolstering El Salvadorโs financial reserves with cryptocurrency.
Under President Bukele, El Salvador added 8 BTC to its national reserves. This purchase increases its holdings to 6,229 BTC. The National Bitcoin Office assists Bukeleโs incremental strategy, consistently purchasing Bitcoin without third-party funding.
The acquisition reflects ongoing commitment to Bitcoin as a national reserve asset, with holdings now valued at several hundred million dollars. Despite the increase, there is no significant impact on Bitcoinโs market liquidity due to the small purchase volume.
โWe continue our disciplined approach to Bitcoin accumulation, adding 8 BTC to our national reserves.โ

The incremental strategy reinforces Bitcoinโs role in El Salvadorโs economic strategy. While not impacting global liquidity, the move shows symbolic support for Bitcoin and maintains El Salvadorโs stance as an early adopter of cryptocurrency reserves.
Potential effects include increased global awareness and potentially growing acceptance of cryptocurrency as a form of national reserve, underscoring El Salvadorโs pioneering role in using digital currency on a governmental level.
