The post El Salvador’s Bitcoin Holdings Reach $600M as Bitcoin Hits $100K appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

In 2021, when the Legislative Assembly of El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as a legal tender, most governments criticised the move bitterly, indirectly terming it as a financial blunder. It was Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, who provided the necessary encouragement for the country to move ahead with its revolutionary Bitcoin policy. With the value of the country’s Bitcoin holdings crossing $600M, the risk seems to have paid off well. 

El Salvador’s Bitcoin Holdings Surpass $600 Million 

On February 29, the total BTC holdings of El Salvador were just 2,381 BTC. On March 15, just after the price of Bitcoin crossed the $73,000 mark creating an all-time high, the country’s holdings rose to 5,689.7 BTC. Right now, it stands at 5,954.77 BTC. 

What is important to note here is the massive rise of the BTC price during the said period. On March 15, the price of Bitcoin was around $69,487.32. Since then, it has experienced a surge of at least 47.99%. 

In mid-March, the value of the country’s BTC holdings was approximately $395,362,004.604. Since then, the value has increased by over 54.94%. 

El Salvador’s Bitcoin Story 

It was when the country was going through a tough financial crisis that it decided to embrace Bitcoin. When its Legislative Assembly supported the futuristic bitcoin plan, the country officially became the first to use BTC as legal tender. This revolutionary step would have been impossible without a visionary president like Nayib Bukele. Though he faced severe criticism citing the issue of volatility, he bravely pushed the move forward, fighting all odds.
