El Salvador Announces Integration of Bitcoin and Artificial Intelligence as National Policy. According to Mars Finance, El Salvador has officially announced the integration of Bitcoin and artificial intelligence as a national policy. As of January 1, 2026, El Salvador's national treasury reserves reached 7,517 Bitcoins, worth over $660 million. The plan aims to utilize surplus geothermal energy to build data centers and AI zones, providing a tax-free environment for automation industries and decentralized financial services. Furthermore, El Salvador has passed legislative amendments to make Bitcoin a voluntary legal tender and ensure that taxes are denominated in US dollars, thereby securing $1.4 billion in funding from the International Monetary Fund. Simultaneously, El Salvador is collaborating with technology leaders such as xAI through the Genius Act to promote AI-driven education programs nationwide.
