El Salvador, under the leadership of President Nayib Bukele, has purchased $50 million worth of gold, further diversifying the nation’s financial reserves. This acquisition boosts the country’s total gold holdings to over $360 million and is part of a “dual asset” strategy that combines traditional safe-haven assets with its well-known investments in Bitcoin.
This move follows a similar purchase in September 2025, signaling a consistent policy of accumulating precious metals alongside cryptocurrency to hedge against global economic volatility. Analysts view this strategy as an attempt to stabilize the nation’s balance sheet while maintaining its aggressive stance on digital finance; the government currently holds over $635 million in Bitcoin.
The purchase also aligns with a broader global trend, as central banks worldwide have been buying gold at record rates to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar.
