Bukele’s Bitcoin Buying Spree

In September 2021, El Salvador made an initial $103 million Bitcoin purchase. As Bitcoin’s price collapsed over 50% amid the bear market, Bukele continued dollar-cost averaging by making repeated buys throughout 2022. At one point, the portfolio value dropped to $45 million.

Bitcoin Legal Tender

In 2021, El Salvador became the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. However, the IMF has warned of limited Bitcoin adoption so far. Reporter Joe Hall found disappointing Bitcoin payment acceptance when testing transactions for everyday purchases. By next year, El Salvador plans to introduce Bitcoin education in schools.

Conclusion

Despite criticism, Bukele remains committed to his Bitcoin strategy for El Salvador, confident that the country’s investments will pay off over the long term. Price volatility has not deterred his belief in Bitcoin’s future.
