  • El Salvador proposes establishing a private Bitcoin investment bank called the Bank for Private Investment (BPI) to offer financial services to cryptocurrency investors with fewer restrictions compared to traditional banks.
  • The BPI would require a minimum share capital of $50 million and at least two shareholders, including foreigners, and could operate in legal tenders like USD and BTC while seeking approval to become a digital asset service provider.
  • The proposal by President Nayib Bukele represents another step in El Salvador’s mission to integrate Bitcoin into its financial system and attract crypto investment to boost economic growth, following the country’s adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021.

El Salvador is doubling down on its Bitcoin bet with a new proposal to establish a private investment bank catering to cryptocurrency investors. El Salvador’s Ambassador to the United States announced the plan on Twitter, stating that the Bank for Private Investment (BPI) would diversify the financing options offered to potential investors in dollars and Bitcoin.

The Proposal

The move comes just two weeks after President Nayib Bukele, a vocal Bitcoin supporter, was sworn in for his second term. Bukele’s senior Bitcoin advisor Max Keiser said the president is “hitting the ground running” with this new legislation.

If approved, the BPI would offer Bitcoin investors access to financial services with fewer restrictions compared to traditional banks. The bank would not face the same stringent laws such as limitations on engaging with overseas banks or granting large loans.

To establish a BPI, a minimum share capital of $50 million and at least two shareholders, including foreigners, would be required. The bank would be able to operate in any legal tender, including USD and BTC, and could seek approval to become digital asset service providers.

The proposal, directed by Bukele and put forth by Minister of Economy María Luisa Hayem, has not yet been approved by legislators. It will need to go through consultations and a vote in the Technology, Tourism and Investment Commission.

El Salvador’s Bitcoin Adoption

El Salvador made history in 2021 by becoming the first country to make Bitcoin legal tender. Despite a bumpy ride, Bukele’s popularity remains high, largely due to his crackdown on criminal gangs that plagued the nation for decades.

The BPI proposal represents another step in El Salvador’s mission to integrate Bitcoin into its financial system and attract crypto investment to boost economic growth.
