🇸🇻💰Should Your Country Hold Bitcoin? What El Salvador’s Bold Bet Teaches Us📚

When El Salvador added Bitcoin to its national reserves, the world watched—some with excitement, others with concern.

They didn’t go all in though. As of 2025, Bitcoin still makes up less than 3% of their total reserves.

That’s smart. Foreign reserves are a country’s safety cushion. So putting a small portion—say 1% to 5%—into BTC can offer upside without risking core stability.

But this only works if there are strong rules in place.

Think:

Secure wallets that need approval from more than one government official.

Limits on how much $BTC can grow in the portfolio before triggering a sell.

- Regular audits that keep the public informed.

- Laws that prevent anyone from quietly changing the rules.

And most importantly, keeping BTC funds separate from critical reserves used for emergencies or foreign debt.

Bitcoin could be a useful hedge. But without clear checks and public accountability, it’s a gamble—not a policy.

El Salvador took the first step. The question is: who’s ready to do it better?
