Bukele made financial news last September when El Salvador adopted bitcoin as its national currency.
Since adopting it as legal tender, the country has spent $85.5M on Bitcoin, including a $15M purchase this month.
The country paid an average of $47,500 per Bitcoin and the current price is $37,797, which translates into a 20.4 percent loss on its investment.
The International Monetary Fund on Jan. 24 recommended that El Salvador drop Bitcoin as its legal tender because it “entails large risks for financial and market integrity, financial stability, and consumer protection.”
