El Salvador has announced plans to advance a national development strategy centered on Bitcoin and artificial intelligence (AI) in 2026. Building on the 2021 Bitcoin Law, the government continues to increase its Bitcoin reserves, holding 7,517 BTC valued at approximately $660 million as of early 2026. In late 2025, El Salvador revised the Bitcoin Law, removing the mandate for private sectors to accept Bitcoin, transitioning it to a voluntary but state-supported legal tender. Additionally, the country secured $1.4 billion in financing from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
