$BTC El Salvador adopted BTC as a legal means of payment, alongside the US dollar, in September last year. The Salvadoran president, Nayib Bukele, predicted that Bitcoin would be a legal means of payment in two more countries in 2022, as reported previously by World of Money. The CEO of Devere Group expects at least three countries to do this, while the CEO of Bitmex stated that five countries will soon have Bitcoin as a legal means of payment. Meanwhile, the investment fund Fidelity has indicated that "it would not be surprising to see other sovereign nation states acquire bitcoin in 2022 and perhaps even see a central bank make such a purchase".
