1 min. readEl Salvador's government-controlled cold wallet has been steadily acquiring one Bitcoin daily since March 16, increasing its Bitcoin reserve by 162 coins. The wallet, linked to the El Salvador government, now holds 5,851 Bitcoin worth around $356.4 million. Transactions show daily additions of Bitcoin, with the latest purchase costing $60,500. The average acquisition cost is estimated at $44,835, resulting in a profit margin of $93.45 million. President Bukele aims to buy one Bitcoin daily until prices are 'unaffordable.' El Salvador also plans to use cryptocurrency in trade negotiations with Russia to bypass economic sanctions. The government is transparent about its Bitcoin holdings and has ventured into Bitcoin mining using geothermal energy. Despite a slight decrease in Bitcoin value, El Salvador continues to innovate in its Bitcoin strategy.
