El Salvador's$BTC Turning a Profit
El Salvador's audacious plunge into Bitcoin is paying off – for now. After facing initial losses when the cryptocurrency nosedived in late 2021, their holdings of 2,798 BTC are currently valued at $131.3 million, yielding an unrealized profit of around $13 million.
That's a far cry from the $20 million they initially invested in June 2022, not the oft-reported $85.5 million. The government's unwavering commitment to buying one Bitcoin a day since November 2022 has contributed to this positive swing.
Despite the lingering doubts, El Salvador's experiment is captivating the world. The "Bitcoin City" project, fueled by these digital assets, aims to build a futuristic metropolis free from traditional banking systems. Whether this gamble pays off in the long run remains to be seen, but one thing's for sure: El Salvador is boldly forging its own path in the crypto era, with eyes fixated on a decentralized future.
