El Salvador’s Bitcoin Bet Faces $300M Drawdown
-

El Salvador’s Bitcoin strategy is under pressure as the bear market deepens.
The country currently holds 7,560 BTC, worth about $503.8 million, down from roughly $800 million at Bitcoin’s October 2025 peak — a nearly $300 million decline in four months.
President Nayib Bukele continues to buy 1 BTC per day, doubling down on long-term accumulation despite rising volatility.
Meanwhile, Bhutan has taken the opposite approach — selling $22.4 million worth of Bitcoin after mining profits tightened post-halving.
Two countries. Two strategies. One volatile asset.
