In Brief:
El Salvador increased its Bitcoin reserves by 8 BTC over the past 7 days.
The country now holds 6,180.18 BTC, valued at approximately $639.4 million.


According to data from the El Salvador Ministry of Finance, the country has added 8 more Bitcoins to its national reserves in the past week, bringing its total holdings to 6,180.18 BTC. At current market prices, that portfolio is now worth approximately $639.4 million.

The update reflects El Salvador’s continued dollar-cost averaging strategy, which President Nayib Bukele has consistently championed since making Bitcoin legal tender in 2021.

While the weekly increase is relatively small, it signals El Salvador’s ongoing commitment to accumulating BTC as a long-term reserve asset, especially as global attention returns to institutional adoption and nation-state involvement in crypto.
