President Nayib Bukele reposted the announcement, writing, "We just bought the other dip." Whether Bukele was applauding the gold buy or cheekily announcing the government's own bitcoin buy wasn't clear. Arkham data did show the country adding one bitcoin to its holdings on Thursday, in line with Bukele's ongoing pledge for his government to buy one bitcoin per day.
The country's stack, according to Arkham, now stands at 7,547 bitcoin worth $635 million at bitcoin's currently depressed price just above $84,000.
