El Salvador Purchases 410 More Bitcoins Amid Market Drop, President Bukele Says
The nation now has over 1,500 bitcoins and plans to issue a $1 billion, 10-year bitcoin bond this year.
El Salvador bought 410 bitcoin (BTC) for $15 million Friday, President Nayib Bukele said on Twitter.
- “Some guys are selling really cheap,” he added in his tweet.
- It is difficult to verify such claims on the public blockchain because a buyer of a block of BTC at that size would almost certainly have to buy it in smaller chunks to avoid slippage.
- Bitcoin was down about 12% late Friday to the $36,500 level as broader crypto prices also retreated.
Nope, I was wrong, didn’t miss it.
