El Salvador Deepens Bitcoin Integration with New Training Initiatives

El Salvador continues to prioritize Bitcoin under President Nayib Bukele's leadership. The government plans to train 80,000 public employees in Bitcoin, aiming to embed the cryptocurrency more deeply into the nation’s economy.

This initiative is being led by the National Bitcoin Office (ONBTC), which has announced a new certification program covering everything from Bitcoin basics to legal aspects.

Public schools will also receive Bitcoin education through programs like Mi Primer Bitcoin and Node Nation, signaling a broader push for crypto literacy across the country.

Stacy Herbert, director of ONBTC, believes that educating government workers will have lasting positive effects on El Salvador’s economic landscape. More educational initiatives are expected as the government strengthens its Bitcoin policies.

Despite international criticism, including concerns from the IMF, El Salvador’s government remains committed to its Bitcoin strategy. While the adoption has been gradual, with some businesses and individuals hesitant to fully embrace Bitcoin, the country has significantly ramped up its Bitcoin mining activities.

Currently, El Salvador holds approximately 5,750 Bitcoins, valued at over $375 million, benefiting from the recent approval of Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. Although challenges remain, the government’s bet on Bitcoin is starting to yield financial gains.
