Bitcoin Story
The First Nation to Say Yes to Bitcoin
una historia de valentía
From a single surf beach to the halls of national government — the story of how a small country bet on the future and made history.
donde todo comenzó
Bitcoin BeachBitcoin Beach — the origin
In the surf town of Playa El Zonte, a grassroots experiment began: a circular economy where locals earn, spend, and save in bitcoin. It became the blueprint for a nation.
Legal tender — a world first
El Salvador became the first sovereign nation on Earth to recognize bitcoin as legal tender, alongside the US dollar. History was written in a single day.
The first strategic bitcoin reserve
El Salvador went further, creating the world's first Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Fund — a national treasury holding bitcoin as a store of value for the future.
El Salvador — donde el futuro llegó primero
A keepsake of the moment a small nation chose to lead the world — and the beach where it all began.
