The office also emphasized the legal framework that was introduced for digital asset markets, including the investment bank rights legislation adopted in 2025.
Speaking of these milestones, Stacy Herbert, the director of the Bitcoin office, was the development as part of the efforts to build the “Greatest Country Brand in the World: Bitcoin Country”.
She added:
“The Bitcoin office has consistently produced extraordinary results by concentrating on only high integrity partners and projects for our team … and this is just the beginning.”
While the government framed the birthday as a celebration of progress, international observers issued concern.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) doubted the transparency of the reported Bitcoin Holdings of El Salvador. In a report in July, the IMF suggested that the growing Bitcoin balance of the country reflected internal assets reorganisations instead of ongoing daily purchases.
This challenges directly statements from the national Bitcoin office of El Salvador, which has consistently claimed that the government continues to buy Bitcoin every day.
