El Salvador to build 20 schools on profits from bitcoin investments
At the moment the country’s authorities own 1,120 BTC, which are estimated at $70.5 million at the current rate on November 3
The government of El Salvador will build 20 schools using the profit, which was brought to the country’s government by investments in bitcoin. This was reported on Twitter by the press office of Salvadoran President Nayib Buquele. At the moment, the government of El Salvador owns 1,120 BTC ($70.5 million at the current exchange rate on November 3).
In October, Buquele announced the construction of a new veterinary clinic in the capital of El Salvador with the profits from investments in the first cryptocurrency. The president said that $4 million would be allocated for the project. At that time Buquelet explained that the surplus of $4 million in the Bitcoin Trust was formed due to the rise in bitcoin prices. The balance also holds U.S. dollars, which are used to secure investments in the cryptocurrency. Thus, the fund can make a profit without selling bitcoins.
