The El Salvadoran government has been on a relentless BTC buying spree despite the volatile price action of Bitcoin. <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">CoinMarketCap</a> data shows that on March 16, Bitcoin was trading at the $69,000 level. 
The following days witnessed the price move as high as $71,000 before plunging to a low of $49,000 earlier this month. However, just like Michael Saylor, the government stuck to their plan to scoop up 1 BTC per day.

El Salvador is the first nation to legalize Bitcoin. The law legalizing BTC came into effect on September 7, 2021. Ever since they made BTC a legal tender, the government has been trying out multiple ways to promote the largest cryptocurrency. 
The country also has a volcano-fueled geothermal power plant that runs a Bitcoin mining rig. Earlier <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/el-salvador-mined-nearly-474-bitcoins-adding-state-crypto-holding-last-three-2024-05-14/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">reports</a> in May revealed that El Salvador has mined more than 474 Bitcoin since 2021. 
Now, the nation has <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/el-salvador-to-give-bitcoin-certifications/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> plans to train 80,000 public servants about Bitcoin. The country’s National Bitcoin Office (ONBTC) announced this Bitcoin instruction and certification program. Additionally, they also plan to bring Bitcoin education to schools. The new program is a 160-hour training class that is segregated into seven modules. 
Despite the recent volatile movement of Bitcoin, El Salvador has doubled down on its BTC strategy.
