El Salvador continues celebrating significant days by buying more BTC, with president Nayib Bukele announcing a new purchase of 21 BTC.
Worth around $1,036,000 , El Salvador’s latest BTC investment is to celebrate the “last 21st day of the year 21 of the 21st century” and commemorate the scarcity of Bitcoin as its supply is limited by 21 million BTC.
The president also noted that El Salvador’s entire size is around 21,041 square kilometers, which, according to Bukele, is not a coincidence as El Salvador is the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender.
Buying Bitcoin is steadily becoming a way of celebrating different occasions and playing around meaningful dates or figures by El Salvador after the government bought its first 200 BTC in early September amid adopting Bitcoin as legal tender on Sept. 7.
El Salvador was celebrating Black Friday, buying 100 BTC at around $54,000 per BTC, accumulating a total of 1,220 BTC.
