 Inventory of countries where Bitcoin is legal tender

On September 7, local time, the Central American country of El Salvador officially became the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. On the same day, a campaign was launched on Twitter and Reddit, calling on Bitcoin fans to buy $30 worth of Bitcoin each to commemorate it.

Nayib Bukele, the 40-year-old President of El Salvador, announced on Twitter that the government had purchased the first batch of 200 bitcoins on Monday and would buy more. He is the main promoter of the bill to make Bitcoin legal tender in the country.

Later, Bukele announced that El Salvador had purchased another 200 bitcoins, and the country held a total of 400 bitcoins in its treasury.

Influenced by this news, the price of Bitcoin rose, breaking through $52,000, reaching the highest price in nearly three months.

Although El Salvador's GDP accounted for only 0.0291% of the world's total GDP last year, it is not easy to take the step of Bitcoin legal tender, because this may cause more countries to follow suit.

The Central African Republic became the second country in the world and the first in Africa to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. On April 21, 2022, the National Assembly of the Central African Republic unanimously passed a bill to make Bitcoin legal tender.

This draft law was initiated and submitted by Gourna Zacko, Minister of Digital Economy, Postal Services and Telecommunications of the Central African Republic, and Calixte
Nganongo, Minister of Finance and Budget, to establish a legal framework for the regulation of cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin as the official currency of the Central African Republic.

Located in the center of the African continent, the Central African Republic has a very important strategic position. It is the only way to travel from north to south and from east to west. The total area of the country exceeds 620,000 square kilometers and the population is only 4.83 million.

The above is the answer to the question of which countries have legalized Bitcoin? and the inventory of countries where Bitcoin is legal currency. Now the price of Bitcoin is constantly fluctuating. In this process, China's management departments have also issued a lot of risk warnings. Everyone must be clear that Bitcoin does not have the attributes of currency in China. Bitcoin actually exists as a virtual commodity with scarcity. Although Bitcoin has now expressed its value with price, after all, Bitcoin does not have any practical value now. When investing in such virtual currencies, everyone must pay attention to risks.
