On September 7, El Salvador officially became the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. President Nayib Bukele pushed the Salvadoran Congress to pass the "Bitcoin Law" in June 2021, which stipulates that Bitcoin can be used to pay for goods, services, taxes, etc., alongside the US dollar as legal tender. The Salvadoran government subsequently launched the digital wallet "Chivo," allowing citizens to store and use Bitcoin, and offering a $30 Bitcoin reward to registered users. Bitcoin ATMs were also deployed nationwide for convenient transactions. According to data from the El Salvador Ministry of Finance's website, El Salvador has accumulated 8 Bitcoins in the past 7 days, and currently holds 6,291.18 Bitcoins, worth over $690 million.
