Storage Strategy and Previous Government Decisions
Last week, the government of El Salvador distributed its bitcoins among 14 new addresses. This step was taken to reduce potential risks associated with the development of quantum technologies. Officials noted that diversifying storage will help protect national crypto assets from possible future threats.
“We are buying 21 bitcoins on Bitcoin Day,” he wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
El Salvador recognized bitcoin as an official means of payment back in September 2021. Since then, the country has regularly invested in the first cryptocurrency, increasing its reserves and strengthening the state’s position in the crypto industry.
At the same time, in July 2025, the International Monetary Fund noted in its report that El Salvador had not made any additional bitcoin purchases since February 2025.
