El Salvador's $150 million Bitcoin trust expects to have 4 million users
El Salvador has approved a $150 million trust fund. The country set up the fund ahead of Bitcoin becoming a legal tender on September 7.
A $500 million loan gets a new purpose
The $150 million comes from the $500 million loan the country took out from the Central American Bank for Economic Integration (CABEI). Originally, this money was meant to help small and medium-sized businesses. But it will now be used mainly to fund their plans with Bitcoin. The country currently has around 50,000 Bitcoin users. This could rise to 4 million users after the law is implemented.El Salvador is going to use the $150 million to fund transactions between Bitcoin and the U.S. dollar, as well as the country's fiat currency. Another 53.3 million dollars will realize the entire plan, including through the 200 Bitcoin ATMs installed in the country. They also allocated 30 million dollars to the national Bitcoin wallet, called Chivo. This is where citizens can store both bitcoin and the dollar.
Citizens will receive $30 in Bitcoin
Bitcoin is a new technology for many citizens, so the country is mainly focusing on explaining the technology and the wallet to citizens. All citizens will also receive $30 in Bitcoin in their Chivo wallet.María Luisa Hayém Brevé, the Minister of Economy, said about the implementation of the plan, "We have several teams in the area to show the population how to use the Chivo Wallet. We have developed a user-friendly application so that all Salvadorans can learn how to use this cryptocurrency."
Not everyone is happy with the new law
However, the new Bitcoin law that will soon come into effect has sparked protests in the country. Some citizens believe it will facilitate corruption. On the other hand, others are not happy about the volatility of Bitcoin and think it will hurt store owners.Citizens are not the only ones who are not happy about Bitcoin becoming a legal tender in El Salvador. The World Bank and IMF have both expressed disapproval of El Salvador crypto legislation from the start, warning of the economic and legal risks the country faces if Bitcoin becomes an official legal tender.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
