What to know:

  • El Salvador has increased its bitcoin holdings by over 1,000 BTC, despite a significant market selloff.
  • The country’s total bitcoin reserves now approach 7,500 BTC, maintained by a policy of buying one BTC per day.
  • President Bukele’s recent bitcoin purchase comes amid discussions with US officials on digital asset regulation.
El Salvador is doubling down on its bitcoin strategy during one of the sharpest sell-offs of the year, adding more than 1,000 BTC to its national BTC treasury.

The government has now accumulated nearly 7,500 BTC, a position built through a one-BTC-per-day policy that continues despite IMF conditions that discourage additional public sector holdings, although El Salvador has said that the purchases won’t stop.

The most recent BTC purchase also follows closer coordination with Washington on digital asset oversight, including a June meeting between President Bukele and White House crypto adviser Bo Hines.

Bitcoin fell below $90,000 as Asia traded through the day, extending its recent slide amid weakening risk sentiment across global markets.

Bitcoin Dominance is Bleeding With Price, But Market Observers Say Altcoin Season is on Hold

(Semyon Borisov/Unsplash)Bitcoin’s drawdown, alongside cross-pair stability and steady on-chain activity, points to a market clearing excess leverage rather than shifting into a high-beta altcoin run.

What to know:

  • Bitcoin’s recent decline is part of a broader market deleveraging rather than a shift to altcoins.
  • Despite bitcoin’s drop, altcoins have not shown significant strength, indicating a lack of altseason.
  • On-chain data shows stable activity without the congestion or fee spikes typical of an altcoin cycle.
