With this addition, El Salvador’s Bitcoin treasury now stands at 6,313 BTC, worth more than $701 million according to government figures.
Meanwhile, this transaction was less about market positioning and more about symbolism.
By marking the anniversary with another Bitcoin buy, Bukele reinforced his government’s commitment to a policy that has defined his administration’s economic identity.
El Salvador’s Bitcoin Office highlighted the progress made since the landmark decision in 2021.
Speaking on these milestones, Stacy Herbert, the Director of the Bitcoin Office, framed the development as part of efforts to build the “greatest country brand in the world: BITCOIN COUNTRY.”
“The Bitcoin Office has consistently delivered extraordinary results by focusing on only high integrity partners and projects for our team …and this is just the beginning.”
Yet, while the government framed the anniversary as a celebration of progress, international observers raised concerns.
This directly challenges statements from El Salvador’s National Bitcoin Office, which has consistently asserted that the government continues to buy Bitcoin daily.
