I just came across a really interesting set of numbers: the Bitcoin in El Salvador’s treasury has officially surpassed 7,800 BTC 🇸🇻
According to on-chain data from October 18, it holds about 7,807 BTC, worth approximately $637 million. More importantly, look at the pace: for years, it has added about 1 BTC almost every day—buying when prices rise and when they fall, without ever stopping because of market conditions.
Many people ask: Didn’t El Salvador sign a $1.4 billion loan agreement with the IMF, promising that the government would no longer use public funds to buy Bitcoin?
🔹 According to the IMF’s post-review statement, the Bitcoin added since June 2025 came from private donations and did not involve government spending
🔹 On October 1, the IMF disbursed about $138 million in loans as usual
🔹 The reserve wallet address is public, so anyone can verify its balance on-chain
I think there are three things worth noting here:
1️⃣ This is a rare example of a “verifiable” national reserve—you don’t have to rely on official statements; you can check it on-chain
2️⃣ One BTC a day is a tiny amount compared with the Bitcoin newly mined worldwide each day, so it has almost no direct impact on price and is more significant as a signal
3️⃣ It has turned national reserves into a long-term dollar-cost averaging strategy. Whether it succeeds will ultimately depend on the market cycle, not on the price movement of any single day
For ordinary people, the hardest part often isn’t understanding dollar-cost averaging, but sticking with it through both panic and euphoria.
Do you think El Salvador’s “one coin a day” approach will be copied by more countries in a few years?
