Gate News report: Salvador continues to advance its national Bitcoin reserve strategy. The amount it holds has already surpassed 7,600 BTC, reaching approximately 7,606 BTC, with a total value of more than $500 million. Latest data shows the country is still accumulating at a steady pace. Last week, it once again bought 8 more Bitcoins, continuing its long-term accumulation path.
Unlike large-scale one-time purchases, El Salvador has adopted a “buy in batches” strategy, which has remained unchanged since it launched the plan in 2021. This approach helps smooth the risks brought by price volatility while also avoiding potential market price shocks from concentrated buying. Over time, small incremental purchases have continued to stack up, allowing it to gradually build a national Bitcoin reserve at a scale that leads globally.
Although this policy has attracted significant attention, controversy has always remained. International organizations, including the IMF, have repeatedly warned of risks, arguing that Bitcoin’s price volatility could pose challenges to national fiscal stability. However, President Nayib Bukele has continued to express support for the strategy, viewing it as a forward-looking long-term asset allocation rather than short-term speculation.
From the results, Salvador’s Bitcoin holdings have shown paper losses at certain stages, but the core of this strategy does not rely on short-term price performance. Instead, it is a bet on future value growth. This move has also made it one of the first economies globally to include digital assets in a national reserve system.
On a broader level, Salvador’s approach provides an important reference path for other countries. By incorporating Bitcoin into its sovereign asset portfolio, the country is exploring a new model distinct from traditional foreign exchange and gold reserves. In the future, Bitcoin’s price trend will directly determine the outcome of this experiment, and global markets will continue to closely watch the long-term effectiveness of this “national periodic investment” strategy.
