El Salvador has pushed its Strategic Bitcoin Reserve past 7,680 BTC, thanks to a steady drumbeat of daily purchases. The national stack, worth over $510 million at current prices, keeps growing as the government sticks to a strategy President Nayib Bukele has described as 'Buying the Dip, Every Day.' The move solidifies the country's position as the most aggressive state-level bitcoin accumulator on the planet.
How the reserve grew
The daily buy program doesn't make splashy headlines — it just grinds. Since launching the reserve, El Salvador has methodically added bitcoin in small increments, often during price dips. The tactic has paid off: the stash crossed the 7,600 BTC threshold this month and hasn't looked back. Unlike a single lump-sum purchase, the daily approach smooths out entry prices and avoids moving the market against itself.
What $510 million buys
At over half a billion dollars, the reserve now rivals the gross domestic product of some small island nations. It's also more than triple what the country held when it first made bitcoin legal tender in 2021. Critics then called the experiment reckless — but the daily buying routine has steadily silenced some of the early alarm. The government hasn't sold a single satoshi, Bukele has repeatedly stressed.
Next on the agenda
The daily purchases show no sign of stopping. Bukele has signaled that the reserve will keep growing as long as bitcoin's price offers opportunity — which, in his view, is most days. The next milestone? 8,000 BTC would put El Salvador well past the half-billion mark and deepen the country's bet on the asset. For now, the bitcoin keeps flowing in, one dip at a time.
