El Salvador buys its cheapest 410 Bitcoins

President Nayib Bukele confirmed that the purchase of 410 BTC was made against US$15 million, placing the trading price at around US$36,585 per bitcoin.

The Central American country of El Salvador added 410 Bitcoin (BTC) to its central reserve as BTC prices trade below $37,000 USD, a price last seen on July 26, 2021.

The new addition to El Salvador’s bitcoin reserve was announced by President Nayib Bukele, who confirmed that the purchase of 410 BTC was made against US$15 million, placing the price at around $36,585 USD per BTC.

El Salvador adopted BTC as legal tender on September 7, 2021, as a means to overcome catastrophic inflation amid weakening purchasing power in the country.

Fast-forward to today, the country has strategically hoarded 1,801 BTC over the past four months, especially as the market sees a momentary price drop.

The latest purchase is currently the cheapest acquisition for El Salvador since the country adopted Bitcoin as legal tender.

With BTC trading just above the $36,000 mark and the resulting sell-off, Bukele believes “some guys are selling real cheap,” supporting his long-term view of widespread Bitcoin adoption.

As evidenced by data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView, Bitcoin saw a steady rise in price beginning in mid-July, resulting in an all-time high of nearly $69,000 in the first week of November. However, the following three months saw a sharp drop in market prices as investors redirected Bitcoin gains to buying other tokens.

A new report from Crypto.com predicts that the global crypto market will welcome one billion users by the end of 2022, as more developing countries emulate El Salvador’s decision to adopt BTC.

As Cointelegraph reported, crypto.com estimates that “if we extrapolate a similar rate of increase in 2022, we are on track to hit 1 billion cryptocurrency users by the end of 2022.”

The report concludes that a combination of developing nations following El Salvador and a “friendlier stance” towards the crypto industry means that “nations can no longer afford to ignore the growing public push for crypto.”
