How is cryptocurrency used in El Salvador? The state fund buys more bitcoin at the moments of the rate drawdown, regularly replenishing its reserves. The last purchase took place at an average price of 50 218 for 1 coin. The fund currently has 1120 bitcoins at its disposal.

The state bitcoin trust stores not only bitcoins, but also US dollars. At times when bitcoin is growing and its value exceeds the dollar part of the trust, a surplus is created, which the authorities can use at their discretion. As previously stated, some of the profits received in El Salvador can be used for the construction of a veterinary clinic.
