El Salvador & Bitcoin
On 7 September, El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as the official currency of the country alongside the US dollar. For this decision, El Salvador president Nayib Bukele faced huge criticism from opposition political parties & also from many other global financial agencies.
To use Bitcoin for daily life payment purposes, the El Salvador government established 200 Bitcoin ATMs in the country and also launched a national digital Bitcoin wallet “Chivo”, to make Bitcoin payment adoption easy for businesses without any problem of Bitcoin price volatility.
The country’s government also planned to issue a “Bitcoin Bond”, so that common citizens can easily participate in the country’s Bitcoin adoption plan.
At present, the country holds a total of 2,381 BTC. Since Dec 2020, the country has been continuously buying one Bitcoin per day. Recently El Salvador passed a “Digital Asset Issuance” bill to give legal authority to the El Salvador Bond issuer agency to issue Bitcoin-Bond.
