Comparing the current period with Bitcoin's previous market cycles, it can be seen that Bitcoin is now at a stage from which the price of Bitcoin can start to increase very quickly and consistently. That is, Bitcoin is currently in a Parabolic phase at which point Bitcoin is ready for takeoff.

EL SALVADOR BITCOIN RESERVE SOARS TO NEW ALL TIME HIGH
 BTC holdings: 6,341.18
 USD value: $792,013,741

Bitcoin in El Salvador has been a failed experiment, I would say.
People are not using it in the street, and government bought a good amount and has been banned by IMF to buy more.
If ever we see them “buying” it is just moving coins from and “public-undisclosed wallet” to a “publicly known wallet”.
Of course, IMF knows the entire situation.

Although the President of El Salvador recognized Bitcoin as legal tender, the public did not accept it, and instead, the majority of the population was against Bitcoin. This was certainly a political strategy of the President of El Salvador, but it was never the will of the public. The president of El Salvador has imposed Bitcoin on the people for political gain.

There are some other related reasons why Bitcoin has not gained acceptance among the public and it is a failed experiment. The government has made Chivo Wallet mandatory for the public but they cannot use Chivo Wallet. How will the public use Bitcoin? Again, Chivo Wallet has many errors, making it difficult and troublesome for people to use.

The people of El Salvador have been using the US dollar for a long time, so the people have not suddenly accepted the use of Bitcoin. Instead, they are more comfortable using the dollar. That is why Bitcoin is a failed experiment in El Salvador.

The term "failure" might be too strong and based on inadequate facts.  We know that El Salvador has allowed for a non-hostile (and even welcoming) environment in regards to bitcoin and bitcoin education, which allows for experiments and potential innovations on the ground.  It likely takes a while for any environment to allow for bitcoin to be transacted freely, even whle world wide we have KYC increasingly spreading.. yet if folks can transact peer to peer and they are encouraged to do so, then we cannot always measure the extent to which bitcoin might be held and even used.  I have heard claims that there are still plenty of bitcoin activities and bitcoin circles, and sure maybe there are still a lot of merchants who are not taking bitcoin, yet they are not prohibited from doing so.  I don't claim to know enough since I have not personally been there, yet quite a few bitcoiners have claimed to have had gone there on a pilgrimage.

Calling Bitcoin in El Salvador a failed experiment feels a bit too early and maybe unfair because what they tried to do there was something no other country had ever done before it was never going to work perfectly right away adopting a new monetary system is a huge challenge especially when most of the population was used to the dollar for decades so, of course there would be pushback and confusion in the beginning. The government’s idea might have been political but at the same time it opened doors for something new El Salvador became the first country to officially recognize Bitcoin as legal tender and that alone changed the global discussion about crypto many countries are now watching to see how things develop there before they make their own decisions it’s more like a long experiment than a finished project.

It’s true that the Chivo Wallet rollout was messy there were bugs and people had issues using it that made it hard for the average person to trust the system and once public trust is lost it’s hard to bring it back. people prefer what they know and the dollar has been stable and familiar to them for years but that doesn’t mean Bitcoin can’t find its place over time education and better tools can still change that slowly. On the other hand, El Salvador has benefited in some ways tourism has increased because Bitcoin enthusiasts visit to see how the experiment is going and the country’s president managed to attract international attention which could help their economy in other ways even if Bitcoin use on the street isn’t massive yet the groundwork is there and some businesses and communities are still using it peer to peer.

To my mind, the essence of the El Salvador scenario can be understood as a battle between novelty and custom, and its position is on my report to the effect that this project lies within the validation stage. The legalisation of crypto-currencies can be discussed as one of the most important historical events, as it significantly changes the situation in the world of the global financial market, placing El Salvador in a certain niche.

We must understand that resistance and confusion is normal when a nation would want to alter its fundamental ways of payment particularly after a prolonged duration of usage to the accustomed dollar. The government is still gaining leverage due to first-period technical problems, although geopolitics and higher influx of crypto enthusiasts have been throwing suited support to the government. I also think that the success will become long-term, as far as the level of overcoming the scepticism of the general population can rely on the degree of financial education.

*Notice Regarding Record Date for Convening an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders*




MetaPlanet has scheduled a shareholder meeting for October 24th. I think the meeting will be about buying and holding more Bitcoin. Because we see MetaPlanet aggressively accumulating Bitcoin on a weekly basis, and it has reached the fourth place on the list of top companies. So it is reasonable to assume that they are holding a shareholder meeting to increase Bitcoin purchases.

BREAKING: LUXUMBOURG JUST ANNOUNCED THEY INVESTED 1% OF THEIR SOVERIGN WEALTH FUND INTO #BITCOIN
WORLD'S 4th RICHEST COUNTRY BUYING BTC. MASSIVE

https://x.com/pete_rizzo_/status/1976229453500907973?t=_IdJXvi2mcFjZVQLgFKdug&s=19

A Luxembourg sovereign wealth fund has invested a 1% sliver of its holdings into Bitcoin ETFs, making it the first state level fund in the Eurozone to do so, according to a representative for the Agency for the Development of Luxembourg's Financial Centre.

European nations Finland, Georgia and the U.K. also hold bitcoin, although most of that crypto is sourced from criminal seizures, according to Bitbo, with the exception of Georgia, a nation outside the Eurozone that owns 66 BTC for investment purposes.   During his presentation of the 2026 Budget at the Chambre des Députés, Luxembourg Finance Minister Gilles Roth, revealed the European nation’s Intergenerational Sovereign Wealth Fund (FSIL) has invested 1% of its holdings in Bitcoin.

“Recognizing the growing maturity of this new asset class, and underlining Luxembourg’s leadership in digital finance, this investment is an application of the FSIL's new investment policy, which was approved by the Government in July 2025,” said Jonathan Westhead, communications lead for the Luxembourg Finance Agency representative via email.  Luxembourg, one of the least populated countries in Europe (682,000 approximately) introduced its Intergenerational Sovereign Fund (FSIL) back in 2014, intended to build up a reserve for future generations. The fund holds a modest $730 million of assets, most of its investments being in high-quality bonds.

Under the revised framework, the FSIL will continue to invest in equity and debt markets, while now also being authorized to allocate up to 15% of its assets to alternative investments. These include private equity and real estate, as well as crypto assets. To avoid operational risks, the exposure to Bitcoin has been taken through a selection of ETFs, Westhead said.

Chart by @afribitcoiners shows the Bitcoin scene in Africa is BOOMING
159 projects now span 22 countries, marking a staggering 30% growth in just ONE YEAR!

One day, it will be seen that Bitcoin will spread not only in Africa but also all over the world. Some countries are thinking about the future and are buying Bitcoin one by one, one of them is El Salvador. The current situation is that Bitcoin is becoming more popular than before and people want to see the future in Bitcoin.

It is now a widely recognized currency so people now have a stronger sense of Bitcoin's future prospects and you mentioned the spread of Bitcoin among Africans and their statistics, seeing them accelerate this adoption of Bitcoin reminds me that the Central African Republic was the second country to adopt Bitcoin reserves, so it's largely true that people in that country may have long since grasped the potential of Bitcoin. With the African Bitcoin ecosystem's Q4 showing that they now have 159 project across 22 countries and marking 30% growth in just one year, maybe it's really huge. In fact, in recent times, 20 new projects and 2 new countries, Burkina Faso and Mozambique, have been able to join the movement in the Bitcoin Ecosystem Infographic of Africans as a result, as a result, I believe that African's very interesting statistics show that the Bitcoin scene has exploded and the spread of Bitcoin has accelerated.

The speed at which Bitcoin is spreading around countries globally is a Wow, and this proves only one thing, which is,,  ''Bitcoin is a store of value''. and everybody is going for it, nobody wants to be left out.

Despite the fact that sometimes it falls due to its volatile nature, investors have seen it prove itself to offer much more value in years ahead, and countries and corporate bodies too have seen this longtime Hodl value and has keyed into it too.

The future is brighter with Bitcoin, we all can see that, and soon, all African countries might join the race. It will be great to hear this.

Volatility don't seem to be a problem because it doesn't only go down most times when it comes down it ends up coming up even much stronger and with a new all time high, I understood that without the impact of volatility new investors like us wouldn't have come in to Bitcoin, when I see it coming down is more like saying we should buy more, Bitcoin is a good coin and when something is good it does no longer have a hidden place so I will not be surprised if countries are adopting it.

Some of the countries mentioned here are missing, such as Norway and Venezuela. However, I think it would have been better if these two countries were on the list, as they have a significant amount of Bitcoin holdings. So I think it makes sense to include these two countries in the list of top Bitcoin countries.

Maybe there are just entity just want to have fun with those situation happened. Yeah they maybe didn't succeed on their first attempt for making Bitcoin as their legal tender. But look at the huge effort they made to educate people to know more about Bitcoin and the technology what their young people can possibly benefit in future.

I'd rather buy those success stories they earned since as we can see that even though they got an issue with those implementation they made on Bitcoin. Still they are earning profits plus lots of exposure not only for global scene which brought them up lots investors and tourist.

Chivo roll out may failed at that time but for sure they can do better next time when they try to launch it or create more better version of this wallet.

The only countries that have Bitcoin through their hard work are Bhutan and El Salvador, while the rest were obtained through confiscation through legal action. Therefore, the actions of Bhutan and El Salvador are more commendable, as they truly see Bitcoin as an asset with long-term potential that can help their countries. They are truly striving to manage it actively and strategically because they believe Bitcoin can help improve their countries, not just following a trend, but truly utilizing Bitcoin to strengthen their economic position and financial independence. This makes their approach quite advantageous compared to other countries that only obtain Bitcoin through confiscation.

Looks good and I am impressed with many projects in this continent. I only want to warn people if they are from the Africa continent, to be cautious and careful with any project that participate in as scammers can be there too.

Projects have many types, legit to scam, and scam projects can use "Bitcoin" as one part of their project names or part of their projects in order to attract people to their projects. Bitcoin has nothing to do with scam projects and you must be knowledgeable and skillful to differentiate good projects and scam projects. Only "Bitcoin" in a project is not enough to make it a quality project.

It likely takes a while for any environment to allow for bitcoin to be transacted freely

That's the point, for example in my country as at 4 years ago, electronic transfer was not largely accepted by local traders and business owners due to the skeptism of a possible risk of fraud but due to education these same business owners are now accepting electronic transfers today.

In the case of El Salvador and bitcoin, it will also take time for citizens to fully understand, trust and accept bitcoin a legal tender because most people perceive it as fraud and are not really comfortable with it yet but that doesn't mean the experiment has failed, its a process.

What is good and will last long will always take good time and slowly come to take it's rightful place and Bitcoin is not an exception, I understood this perception of some people about Bitcoin to a fraud, education and knowledge they say is power and authority and if you are not informed you are deformed with time alot of more people will definitely come around perhaps most of us were once like those who are not really informed about the potentials of Bitcoin but we are here today but however no one is going to be persuaded to come in Bitcoin I believe it is still going to be by choice.

It's really interesting to see which countries have the most Bitcoin,But even then, the total number of bitcoins for the countries mentioned here may not be accurate.The main point is that the total Bitcoin holdings of the first country to adopt the SBR are incorrectly identified here, the truth is that El Salvador saw its highest ever profit on Bitcoin just a few days ago when Bitcoin saw a new ATH in historic Uptober. This country has a total of 6346 BTC balances, but their total BTC shown here is 6246 it's really ridiculous. By the way, there are similar entries here that you can check out because they mention the total number of Bitcoins held by North Korea and Venezuela.



In my opinion, it is correct that follow this to find out the exact number of Bitcoin holdings in El Salvador.

I completely agree with you that the decisions taken by El Salvador regarding Bitcoin in their country cannot be considered a failure so quickly. The decision taken by the President of El Salvador is a big decision, so the government of the country may have to wait a long time to see the results. Basically, most of the people of El Salvador have not accepted Bitcoin because they already have US dollars in their country and they rely on them. However, if something like inflation had happened in this country, then maybe the people of this country would have used Bitcoin instead of dollars.

There are still some countries in the world that have not given legal validity to Bitcoin by the government, but the people of those countries are very dependent on Bitcoin, so if Bitcoin is ever given legal validity in these countries, then it will be seen that the people of those countries are supporting the government's activities and the government is succeeding.
As far as I know, the people of Nigeria use a good amount of Bitcoin in addition to their own currency, so if the Nigerian government thinks like this about Bitcoin, they can be successful. But as you said, El Salvador is successful in long-term investment, long-term investment, such a decision by the president to attract tourists, can be called an investment for the future, the other is technological investment, currently this country is doing a lot of work on Bitcoin-related technology and they may continue to do so in the future.

Maybe most of the general population of the country is not using Bitcoin now, but because of Bitcoin, various sectors of the country will improve considerably in the future, it goes without saying.
