On August 8, 2025, the Bitcoin Office announced the launch of 'Bitcoin Banks' — the first such initiative in the world. Details are currently scarce, but the announcement suggests the development of banking services denominated in BTC as part of further integration of Bitcoin with the national financial infrastructure.
The initiative comes from the official Bitcoin Office of El Salvador and aims to deepen the use of BTC in the country.
Legal and operational details have not yet been disclosed — the project is in the development phase.
Senior advisor Max Keiser commented on the initiative, praising the government's pro-Bitcoin strategy.
