<p>Thanks to this public distributed ledger, auditing the country’s BTC investments becomes simpler and more credible. A strong commitment to transparency and accountability. According to <a href="https://x.com/bitcoinofficesv/status/1789788632070431046" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">live data</a>, the Salvadoran Treasury wallet currently holds 5,748 BTC, approximately 352 million dollars stored in wallet address 32ixEdVJWo3kmvJGMTZq5jAQVZZeuwnqzo.</p>
<p>“<em>With this mempool, the government of El Salvador opens its bitcoin reserves to continuous public oversight, wherever you are in the world</em>,” emphasizes Criptolawyer, a renowned crypto legal expert in Latin America. A world first that demonstrates the potential of Bitcoin as an immutable and universally accessible ledger.</p>

<p>The mempool initiative is part of a broader strategy to anchor Bitcoin at the heart of the Salvadoran financial system. Recently, the country has secured its holdings by transferring more than 5,600 BTC into a cold wallet. President <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/el-salvador-the-cool-dictator-and-pro-bitcoin-reelected-president/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Nayib Bukele</a> has also promised to buy 1 BTC per day as part of his “dollar cost averaging” strategy.</p>
<p>These efforts are paving the way for a new era for Bitcoin-related financial markets. Starting tomorrow, El Salvador’s first Liquid BTC fundraiser will be <a href="https://twitter.com/bitcoinofficesv/status/1789672982572404956" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">available</a> on Bitfinex Securities, illustrating the country’s commitment to building a crypto-oriented economy.</p>
<p>However, this proactive crypto policy is not universally accepted. It has recently complicated the country’s negotiations with the IMF for a credit line. The national Bitcoin wallet <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/el-salvadors-bitcoin-wallet-faces-devastating-cyberattack/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Chivo has also been targeted by hackers</a>, highlighting certain risks.</p>
<p>In summary, with this new milestone in its <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/bitcoin-in-el-salvador-an-eternal-crypto-honeymoon/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin revolution</a>, El Salvador confirms its status as a pioneer in state-level cryptocurrency adoption. A unique experiment whose success could inspire other nations, despite the challenges ahead.</p>
