El Salvador purchased 21 BTC to celebrate the fourth anniversary of the Bitcoin Law, with the country's Holdings surpassing 700 million dollars.

On September 7, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele announced on X (formerly Twitter) that to celebrate the fourth anniversary of the Bitcoin Law, the country purchased 21 Bitcoins in a one-time transaction, worth approximately 2.3 million USD. This action once again highlights El Salvador's firm stance as the world's first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender.

National holdings break through 700 million USD

According to data from the El Salvador National Bitcoin Office:

Latest holdings: 6,313 Bitcoins

Market Cap: Approximately 701.8 million USD (based on current market price)

Accumulation Strategy: The office claims to buy 1 Bitcoin every day.

This purchase is only a week away from the country's distribution of Bitcoin to 14 different addresses, a measure aimed at mitigating potential quantum computing threats.

Policy and Legal Background

"Bitcoin Law": Since September 2021, El Salvador has officially recognized Bitcoin as legal tender.

Latest Legislation: Last month, a law was passed allowing major financial institutions to provide services denominated in Bitcoin and digital assets to "mature investors."

IMF Controversy:

In February of this year, the President of the Central Bank of El Salvador and the Minister of Finance submitted a statement to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) stating that the public sector has stopped buying Bitcoin.

Bukele responded on X in March: "No, it will not stop... Not now, nor in the future."

Buckle's Bitcoin Strategy and Market Impact

Bukele has long regarded Bitcoin as a strategic national asset and has repeatedly increased his holdings during price downturns.

Strategic Intent:

1. Use Bitcoin as a national reserve asset

2. Attract global cryptocurrency investors and the tourism industry

3. Promote the implementation of blockchain and digital asset related industries.

Market Reaction: Every time there is news of increased holdings, it attracts community attention and affects market sentiment to some extent.

Future Outlook

As the Bitcoin market enters a new bull market cycle, the value of El Salvador's holdings may further increase. However, the International Monetary Fund and traditional financial institutions continue to question its policies.

Potential Opportunity: The rise in Bitcoin price will directly enhance the value of national assets.

Potential risks: volatility in the cryptocurrency market, international financing pressures, regulatory challenges

Conclusion

Bukele's symbolic purchase of "21 Bitcoins" this time is not only a commemoration of the fourth anniversary of Bitcoin's legality but also a signal to the world of El Salvador's long-term bullish stance on Bitcoin. Regardless of external doubts and challenges, El Salvador's Bitcoin national strategy will clearly continue to advance.
