- Apparently, the Bitcoin buy was in celebration of “the last 21st day of the year 21 of the 21st century.”
- This particular purchase comes 16 days after the last one, which took place on December 4th. Back then, President Bukele revealed that the country had added 150 BTC to its position.
- The move comes as Bitcoin’s price is trading around $49,200, up 1.8% in the past seven days and eyeing the important psychological and technical resistance at $50,000.
