El Salvador's national bitcoin (BTC) treasury has reached 7,807 coins, according to a report published by COINOTAG on October 19, 2026.
El Salvador became the first country in the world to adopt bitcoin as legal tender under its Bitcoin Law, which took effect in September 2021. In November2022, President Nayib Bukele announced that the government would purchase one bitcoin per day, and the state's holdings have since been tracked in publicly traceable on-chain wallets. Because those wallets are publicly traceable, the 7,807-coin balance can be independently verified on-chain, giving observers a direct way to follow future changes to the treasury.
In an update issued at 12:23 UTC on October 19, COINOTAG noted that the transfers fit a pattern rather than a one-off: MARA sold more than 23,000 BTC in the first half of 2026, with its last sale in early August disposing of over 800 BTC, and no large cliff sale since March. MARA Holdings, formerly Marathon Digital Holdings, is a US-based, publicly listed bitcoin mining company.
