Is El Salvador actually up on its Bitcoin investment?

Back in 2021, when they made BTC legal tender, they didn’t wait for perfect entries.
They bought the highs and the dips.
Their early purchases alone stacked about 2,381 BTC at roughly $43K average, putting in a little over $100M
Then they switched to full conviction mode with Daily buys.
Fast forward to today and they’re sitting on around 7,560 BTC, worth roughly $500M at current prices.
Even after Bitcoin dropped nearly 50% from its all-time high, El Salvador is still up well over $180M overall.
At the peak in 2025, their stack was pushing close to $800M.
Love him or hate him, @nayibbukele is running this like a long-term reserve strategy.
The takeaway isn’t “time the bottom.”
It’s what conviction + consistency actually look like in volatile markets.
