El Salvador's Bitcoin holdings have experienced substantial growth since the country began accumulating the cryptocurrency in 2021. The nation's strategic Bitcoin reserve currently stands at approximately 6,250 BTC, valued at around $739 million. This represents an unrealized profit exceeding $456 million, up from an initial investment of about $291 million. The increase in value has been driven by Bitcoin reaching new all-time highs, including a recent peak of $117,700 per BTC. President Nayib Bukele has publicly shared updates on the country's Bitcoin portfolio, highlighting the gains and the government's continued commitment to a daily purchasing strategy. El Salvador maintains one of the highest Bitcoin per capita rates globally, with 82% of the population having traded Bitcoin and 28% holding it long-term. The government's approach reflects a long-term bet on Bitcoin as part of its national treasury strategy.
