<p>President Nayib Bukele’s administration began this daily Bitcoin purchase initiative in an effort to build a digital asset reserve while embracing Bitcoin as legal tender. Of the 5,871 <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/is-bitcoin-btc-entering-a-prolonged-slump-below-58k/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>, 3,046 are publicly known to have been purchased at an average price of $43,888 each. Despite the volatile nature of the cryptocurrency market, the Salvadoran government has maintained its commitment to Bitcoin.</p>
<p>Bukele’s Bitcoin game started in September 2021, when El Salvador became the first country to officially <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/el-salvador-completes-three-years-of-bitcoin-legalization/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">adopt</a> the cryptocurrency as legal tender. The move aimed to boost financial inclusion in a country where 70% of the population does not use traditional banking services, reducing reliance on remittances.</p>
<p>However, Bitcoin’s adoption in the country has faced challenges. A survey conducted by the University Institute for Public Opinion revealed that 88% of Salvadorans have yet to use cryptocurrency. Despite this, <a href="https://x.com/nayibbukele" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bukele</a> remains steadfast, noting in a recent interview that while Bitcoin hasn’t achieved widespread adoption, it has benefited those who chose to embrace it.</p>

<p>El Salvador’s strategy has also drawn attention from international institutions, particularly the IMF, which has raised concerns about potential risks but agreed to a preliminary loan deal with the country in August 2023. For now, El Salvador continues to stack Bitcoin, making a long-term bet on the cryptocurrency’s future as a key component of its economic strategy.&nbsp;</p>
<p>El Salvador’s bold Bitcoin strategy reflects its unwavering belief in cryptocurrency’s <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">potential</a>, despite mixed adoption and international scrutiny.</p>
