[Latest News] In the cryptocurrency market, El Salvador is attracting attention. As Bitcoin reaches an all – time high, El Salvador’s bitcoin reserves have seen an unrealized profit of $357 million.
Details of El Salvador’s Bitcoin Holdings
El Salvador made bitcoin legal tender in 2021. Since then, the country has been actively accumulating bitcoin. It is reported that El Salvador currently holds around 6,180 bitcoins, with an average purchase price of $44,739.88 per coin. The total investment is nearly $270 million.
Reasons for the Increase in Unrealized Profit
The sharp increase in El Salvador’s unrealized profit is mainly due to the recent surge in the price of bitcoin. Bitcoin has experienced significant growth, reaching a new high of over $106,000 recently. This has led to a substantial increase in the value of El Salvador’s bitcoin reserves. According to the data, the current value of El Salvador’s bitcoin holdings has exceeded $630 million, with a growth rate of 128%.
Impact of Bitcoin Policy
The El Salvadoran government’s adoption of bitcoin as legal tender and its subsequent purchase of bitcoin have had a certain impact on the country. On the one hand, it has promoted the development of the local tourism industry to a certain extent. On the other hand, however, the country has also faced pressure from international organizations. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has repeatedly called on El Salvador to reconsider its bitcoin policy, believing that there are risks such as financial instability. Despite this, President Nayib Bukele has always adhered to the bitcoin strategy, believing that it will promote the country’s economic development and enhance El Salvador’s position in the global financial market.
Future Outlook
The future of El Salvador’s bitcoin reserves remains uncertain. On the one hand, if the price of bitcoin continues to rise, the unrealized profit of El Salvador’s bitcoin reserves will continue to increase. On the other hand, the volatility of the cryptocurrency market and the regulatory pressure from international organizations are also factors that cannot be ignored. How El Salvador will balance the development of bitcoin and the stability of the national economy will be the focus of attention in the future.
