El Salvador just bought more Bitcoin 🇸🇻 — and they didn’t wait for confirmation.
While most investors are debating whether this is “the bottom,” El Salvador quietly added another 1 $BTC to its Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
No headlines.
No panic.
Just consistency.
As of mid-February 2026, El Salvador holds roughly 7,560+ BTC, worth around $500M+ at current prices near $68K–$69K.
Yes, the portfolio is below its 2025 peak valuation.
No, they haven’t sold.
That’s the key difference.
🌍 Government Bitcoin Holdings (2026 Snapshot)
Here’s the bigger picture:
🇺🇸 United States — 328,000 BTC (mostly from seizures)
🇨🇳 China — 190,000 BTC (seized holdings)
🇬🇧 United Kingdom — 61,000 BTC
🇺🇦 Ukraine — 46,000 BTC
🇧🇹 Bhutan — 11,000–13,000 BTC (mined via hydro power)
🇸🇻 El Salvador — 7,560 BTC (actively buying)
Most countries are holding Bitcoin because they confiscated it.
El Salvador is different.
They are intentionally accumulating it as a national reserve strategy.
That’s not reactive. That’s conviction.
📌 Why This Matters
Governments collectively hold roughly 3% of total BTC supply.
Some may sell.
Some may hold.
But only one country is publicly buying dips on a fixed schedule.
In volatile markets, long-term positioning often happens quietly.
The question isn’t whether El Salvador’s strategy will be validated tomorrow.
The real question is:
If sovereign accumulation continues over the next decade, how will today’s prices look in hindsight?
What’s your take — bold move or calculated risk?
