Where did the gains come from? According to the President of El Salvador, the gains arose in the dollar part of a special trust that was created to ensure the exchange of cryptocurrencies for fiat currency. Due to the growth of bitcoin, the fund has a surplus of $4 million, and the state fund can use this money at its discretion.
“Bitcoins and US dollars are kept on the fund's balance sheet. By maintaining the same number of BTC, even if the number of dollars decreases, we can invest 4 million in some project,” the president explained.
