- El Salvador buys 8 BTC, raising total to 6,280 BTC.
- Ongoing strategy led by President Bukele.
- El Salvador remains a top state-level Bitcoin holder.
El Salvador added 8 BTC, bringing its total reserve to over 6,280 BTC since August 17, 2025. President Nayib Bukele continues his strategy of Bitcoin accumulation initiated in 2022, becoming a prominent state-level Bitcoin holder.
El Salvadorโs recent purchase aligns with its strategy of expanding digital reserves, reinforcing its global stance as a major Bitcoin holder.
Since August 2025, El Salvador has increased its Bitcoin reserves by acquiring 8 BTC, pushing total holdings to over 6,280 BTC. President Nayib Bukele personally oversees the strategic daily accumulation of Bitcoin, continuing a long-term plan initiated in 2022.
โWe are committed to our long-term Bitcoin strategy, buying one Bitcoin every day โ and we do not intend to sell any.โ โ Nayib Bukele, President, El Salvador
President Bukele, known for implementing the Bitcoin legal tender law in 2021, has led the country in accumulating Bitcoin. El Salvador has reportedly invested more than $300 million into Bitcoin, and current estimates place the value at approximately $709โ$719 million.
No evidence currently suggests shifts in El Salvadorโs crypto portfolio outside of Bitcoin, indicating a concentrated focus on BTC. This activity continues amid global scrutiny and regulatory advisories from institutions like the IMF.
El Salvadorโs consistent Bitcoin purchases draw comparisons to strategies employed by firms like MicroStrategy. However, the nation is notable for acting as a sovereign entity. These actions spotlight the growing interest at state levels in adopting cryptocurrency.
Future implications could involve increased scrutiny from global financial watchdogs as El Salvadorโs prominent crypto position grows. A key challenge will remain managing external regulatory pressures while maintaining technological advancements internally.
