Though not mentioned in the article, the President of El Salvadore apparently also mentioned that the country plans to hold Bitcoin as a reserve asset.


He didn't! It was mentioned later by other people on the conference, but the official announcement only mentioned legal tender


Happen to know whether ElSalv did covertly did most of their purchasing before announcing this? Or have they not purchased btc just yet?


The law hasn’t taken effect yet. Apparently it will go to a vote in parliament next week. I’m honestly not sure but would suspect they haven’t bought yet but will soon have the legal ability too.
