The Bitcoin Office operates as the National Bitcoin Office of El Salvador, known by its Spanish acronym ONBTC, and publishes the country's Bitcoin holdings publicly through its official portal at bitcoin.gob.sv. El Salvador made history when its Bitcoin Law took effect on 7 September 2021, making it the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. On 29 January 2025, the government amended that law to remove Bitcoin's mandatory legal tender status, though voluntary use as payment remains permitted under the revised framework.
The Bitcoin Office is affiliated with Stacy Herbert, who serves as director of the National Bitcoin Office, and with Max Keiser, Bitfinex, and Tether. Per Reuters, El Salvador had mined nearly 474 bitcoins using geothermal power since 2021 as of May 2024, contributing to state holdings of 5,750 bitcoins valued at approximately $354 million at that time. Following an IMF agreement, the National Bitcoin Office director confirmed the government would continue purchasing Bitcoin at an accelerated pace, with a subsequent acquisition of 11 bitcoins worth over $1 million. President Bukele also announced a planned Bitcoin City project in November 2021, designed to harness geothermal energy for Bitcoin mining. The Bitcoin Office has published 6,649 posts and has 45,979 followers as of September 2026 on the platform. The account has been mentioned by 58 accounts, with 207 total mentions.
