Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur behind Tesla and SpaceX, recently expressed admiration for El Salvador's Bitcoin strategy under President Nayib Bukele.
Musk described the nation’s Bitcoin holdings as “impressive,” sparking further discussion about the potential of the cryptocurrency, especially as it recently surpassed the $100,000 mark.
This recognition from Musk follows President Bukele’s announcement highlighting El Salvador’s significant gains from its Bitcoin investments. According to Bukele, the government initially invested $333.59 million in Bitcoin, which has now grown to an impressive $603.34 million—a remarkable 124% profit.
The success of El Salvador’s Bitcoin strategy has captured the attention of both the crypto community and investors worldwide.
Additionally, Arkham Intelligence reports that El Salvador continues to bolster its Bitcoin holdings, purchasing one Bitcoin daily. The country’s current total stands at 5,955 BTC, reflecting a substantial profit. These ongoing investments not only emphasize the government’s confidence in Bitcoin but also underscore its potential as a transformative asset.
With Bitcoin recently breaking past $100,000, this milestone further cements its bullish sentiment among investors, while El Salvador’s strategic adoption of the cryptocurrency continues to position it as a pioneer in the global crypto landscape.
At the time of writing, BTC has retraced to $96,600, which represents a 2.2% loss in the past 24 hours.
