🇸🇻 El Salvador Buys $100M Worth of Bitcoin in a Single Day Amid Market Dip As Bitcoin dropped to $90,000, El Salvador’s National Bitcoin Office (ONBTC) made a major purchase — 1,000 BTC at once.

ONBTC’s wallet now holds 7,474 BTC (around $677 million). Over the past month, the balance increased by 1,120 BTC. Earlier this year, President Nayib Bukele openly stated that “the purchases will not stop.”
