As per the post on X by Keiser, President Bukele has started his new term with groundbreaking legislation to create a Bitcoin Bank in El Salvador. This bank will allow borrowers to use their Bitcoin as collateral, taking advantage of its pristine, no counterparty risk nature.
Keiser predicts that billions of dollars in Bitcoin will flow into El Salvador which will significantly boost the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP). He gave an optimistic forecast that El Salvador’s credit rating could reach investment grade (IG) within the next 24 months due to this influx of Bitcoin and the resulting economic growth.

Significantly, Keiser also referenced the ambitious prediction of<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/el-salvadors-gdp-to-surge-tenfold-in-the-next-five-years-cathie-wood/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Cathie Wood for a ten times GDP growth in El Salvador over the next five years</a>, stating that this scenario has now become much more likely. The Ark Invest CEO had praised President Bukele for its leading role in<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/el-salvador-btc-holding-is-now-85m-in-profit/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> BItcoin adoption</a> which she feels strongly is positively impacting the country’s economy.
As per data from the World Bank, El Salvador’s GDP has recorded a 30% growth since President Bukele took over the office in 2019. As at 2022, the gross domestic product figures stood at $32.4 billion.
<h2 id="b-el-salvador-s-strategy-b">El Salvador’s Strategy</h2>
As part of its strategy to grow the country’s economy, El Salvador had in December 2023 through legislation offered<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/el-salvador-implements-new-law-to-lure-foreign-bitcoin-investors/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> citizenship to any foreign investor with notable Bitcoin holdings</a>. According to details of the legislation, such investors will avoid the regular naturalization processes as they are contributing to economic growth.
Analysts considered this a move to revive the declining crypto enthusiasm in the country as only a small fraction of citizens are actually holders of Bitcoin. They are also keen to observe how seamlessly the Bitcoin bank will operate in the coming days.
