El Salvador has been buying Bitcoin since November 2022
The country’s BTC holdings now show over $456M in unrealized profit
Strategy strengthens its position as a pioneer in Bitcoin adoption
El Salvador, the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, is now reaping the rewards of its bold strategy. Since November 2022, the government has been purchasing Bitcoin regularly, and those steady buys have led to a significant gain—an unrealized profit of over $456 million.
This comes as a massive boost not just for the Central American nation’s economy but also for Bitcoin supporters worldwide. President Nayib Bukele’s administration has faced criticism and skepticism for its crypto-first approach, but the current numbers speak volumes.
Steady Accumulation Pays Off
Instead of making a single large purchase, El Salvador adopted a strategy of accumulating Bitcoin over time, often referred to as “dollar-cost averaging.” This approach has helped buffer the volatility of Bitcoin’s price swings and allowed the country to benefit from the recent price surge.
As of now, with Bitcoin trading much higher than it was in 2022, El Salvador’s Bitcoin holdings have surged in value. Although the profits are unrealized—meaning the assets haven’t been sold—the increase showcases the strength of long-term conviction in the cryptocurrency space.

Global Spotlight on El Salvador’s Bitcoin Experiment
El Salvador’s success puts it in a unique position on the global stage. While many nations remain cautious about Bitcoin, El Salvador has taken the plunge and now serves as a real-time case study of national-level crypto adoption.
This success could influence other countries to consider similar strategies or at least begin exploring the role of Bitcoin in national financial planning. For now, El Salvador is proving that strategic, long-term investment in Bitcoin can yield serious results.
