El Salvador Increases Bitcoin Holdings to Over 6,157 BTC
San Salvador – April 25, 2025 — El Salvador has once again demonstrated its ongoing commitment to Bitcoin, increasing its national holdings by one BTC, according to recent data from the Ministry of Finance. This latest purchase brings the country's total Bitcoin reserves to 6,157.18 BTC, with an estimated market value of approximately $577 million.
The transaction, recorded roughly six hours ago, aligns with President Nayib Bukele’s long-standing “Bitcoin dollar-cost averaging” strategy, in which the government acquires a small amount of Bitcoin daily regardless of market fluctuations. This consistent approach has been part of El Salvador’s broader push to integrate Bitcoin into its economy since the cryptocurrency was declared legal tender in 2021.
El Salvador’s Bitcoin treasury is managed transparently, with real-time updates accessible via public tracking platforms. The country’s growing BTC reserves reflect its ambition to position itself as a global leader in Bitcoin adoption and blockchain innovation.
Despite criticism and market volatility, the Bukele administration continues to bet on Bitcoin as a long-term store of value and a tool for financial inclusion, especially for the unbanked population.
As the price of Bitcoin fluctuates, the total value of El Salvador’s holdings may vary, but the nation's commitment to its digital asset strategy remains firm.
