El Salvador continues to actively acquire Bitcoin, solidifying its position as a global cryptocurrency hub.
Bitcoin Strategy Development
On December 19, El Salvador purchased 11 Bitcoins valued at over $1 million, increasing its total holdings to over 5,980. According to the National Bitcoin Office, this acquisition strengthens the country's status as a Bitcoin-centric economy. The purchase comes after a $1.4 billion IMF agreement, which included scaling back certain Bitcoin activities, such as the removal of mandatory Bitcoin acceptance and phasing out the Chivo wallet.
Balancing Global Commitments
El Salvador became the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender in September 2021. Despite initial IMF criticism, experts suggest recent Bitcoin purchases might mitigate potential negative perceptions of the IMF deal. International events like the 'Adopting Bitcoin' conference continue to draw attention to the country's crypto initiatives.
