El Salvador’s president Nayib Bukele announced that the Central American nation will begin purchasing one Bitcoin (BTC) every day.
The announcement comes three and half months after El Salvador reportedly made its last Bitcoin purchase in July 2022, acquiring 80 BTC at the price of $19,000 for a coin.
El Salvador allegedly holds 2,381 BTC at an average buying price of $43,357, according to data from Buy Bitcoin Worldwide. This sum is based primarily based on when the President announced Bitcoin investments, but because a public or on-chain record identifying the purchases has not been revealed, it cannot be verified.
We are buying one #Bitcoin every day starting tomorrow.
— Nayib Bukele (@nayibbukele) November 17, 2022
The nation has reportedly spent roughly $103.23 million on its Bitcoin purchases to date. However, with the leading cryptocurrency trading around $16,500, this means the actual value of its stash sits at $39.47 million, implying losses of more than $63 million.
One of the crypto industry’s high-profile figures to quickly react to Bukele’s announcement was Tron founder Justin Sun, who said that “we will also buy one Bitcoin every day starting tomorrow.”
While Bukele previously stated that El Salvador, which became the world’s first nation to recognize Bitcoin as legal tender, has allegedly never sold any of its crypto holdings, he has never shared actual wallet addresses associated with the previous purchases.
President of El Salvador Nayib Bukele must truly believe in Bitcoin—or love losing money. Undeterred by the massive losses incurred by his strategy of using public funds to invest in Bitcoin, Bukele announced last night that he spent another $1.5 million to buy 80 BTC at $19,000 per coin. "El Salvador bought today 80 BTC at $19,000 each," the Central American politician tweeted, "Bitcoin is the future, thanks for selling cheap," he said. Prior to this latest announcement, Bukele had invested abo...
When he bought 80 Bitcoin this summer, the President only shared screenshots of the purported transactions, suggesting that El Salvador was using a centralized exchange to execute orders.
Today’s announcement also follows Bukele’s earlier comments on the FTX saga, with El Salvador's President tweeting earlier this week that “FTX is the opposite of Bitcoin.”
FTX is the opposite of #Bitcoin #Bitcoin ’s protocol was created precisely to prevent Ponzi schemes, bank runs, Enron’s, WorldCom’s, Bernie Madoff’s, Sam Bankman-Fried’s…
…bailouts and wealth reassignments.
Some understand it, some not yet.
We’re still early.

The Bitcoin protocol “was created precisely to prevent Ponzi schemes, bank runs, Enron, WorldCom, Bernie Madoff, Sam Bankman-Fried… bailouts, and wealth reallocations,” he said.
The NASDAQ exchange has applied to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to list shares of an Avalanche exchange-traded fund issued by crypto asset manager Grayscale. The 19b-4 form for Grayscale's AVAX ETF follows its registration as a Delaware Trust entity more than two weeks ago. If approved, the AVAX ETF would use Coinbase Custody as its custodian, the 19b-4 shows. The issuer must still file an S-1 registration statement describing the product, however. AVAX, the utility token of L...
France-based public investment bank Bpifrance announced Thursday plans to invest $27 million (€25 million) directly into tokens and decentralized technologies in an effort to “strengthen the French blockchain ecosystem.” Announced during a blockchain-focused event in Paris, the bank’s investment seeks to accelerate its “digital asset investment strategy” by bolstering French crypto startups and assisting the local venture capital players in Web3. “We are convinced of the growing importance that...
Tether revealed Thursday it is investing in a pair of firms unrelated to the crypto industry, continuing an investment spree that has only intensified since the company reported record profits earlier this year. The El Salvador-based company snapped up 49,596,510 shares of Latin American-focused agricultural firm Adecoagro, growing its stake in the business to 70%, according to an SEC filing published Thursday. "Our investment aligns with Tether's broader strategy to back infrastructure, techn...
