Bitcoin Law (2021); explicit national strategic-reserve framework. Accumulation continues under public 'one BTC per day' policy with periodic top-ups.
First country to formally adopt Bitcoin as legal tender and as a sovereign reserve asset. Holdings re-confirmed 2026-08-10 against the National Bitcoin Office's own published ONBTC Treasury wallet (bitcoin.gob.sv, /api/v1/wallet/ONBTC): 20 government-defined addresses totalling 7,739.37428655 BTC, rounded to 7,739 per §7. The address set is the one the state itself publishes — not an externally assembled cluster. Balance independently reconciled to the satoshi against a second node operator (blockstream.info). This is the first primary-source (methodology §5.1/§5.2) confirmation on this row; the prior 7,565 figure was secondary-sourced and dated 2026-02-15.
