El Salvador rewrote the rules on Bitcoin — then doubled down on AI. Today it holds the world's most investor-friendly crypto regime, NVIDIA B300 supercomputers, and Tether calling San Salvador home.
ESVC connects global capital to the full spectrum of El Salvador's transformation: Bitcoin infrastructure, AI investment, renewable energy, real estate, and sectors growing faster than markets recognise.

01
Credit Upgraded
Fitch raised El Salvador to B− in 2025 — the first upgrade in years. Fiscal consolidation, IMF cooperation, and 4% GDP growth drove the move. Sovereign bonds returned 130%+ over three years.

Volcano-Powered Mining
El Salvador's geothermal volcanic energy powers Bitcoin mining — among the most sustainably sourced digital asset infrastructure anywhere. The country accumulates 1 BTC per day.
03
Going All-In on AI
In 2025, El Salvador passed a landmark AI Law, launched the National AI Agency, acquired NVIDIA B300 supercomputers (first in the region), and partnered with xAI to deploy Grok across 5,000 schools.
THE REAL STORY
"The economy is expanding at a faster than anticipated pace on the back of improved confidence, record remittances, and buoyant investment."
— IMF · December 2025
El Salvador made Bitcoin voluntary and AI mandatory. The 2025 reforms weren't a retreat — they were a reorientation toward two pillars that will define the next decade.
In early 2025, El Salvador amended its Bitcoin Law as part of a $1.4 billion IMF agreement. Mandatory merchant acceptance ended. Critics declared it over. Then Tether chose San Salvador as its global HQ. Bitfinex followed. Fitch upgraded to B−. GDP hit ~4%. The IMF praised the expansion as "faster than anticipated."
The national Bitcoin reserve stands at 7,560 BTC — approaching half a billion dollars. Capital gains on Bitcoin remain completely tax-free. The government continues purchasing one Bitcoin per day.
On the AI front, the story is even more aggressive. In February 2025, El Salvador passed one of the world's first dedicated AI legal frameworks. By September, the National AI Agency (ANIA) was live. In November, Bukele personally inspected newly-delivered NVIDIA B300 supercomputers — the most powerful AI processors available.
In December 2025, a partnership with xAI deployed Grok across 5,000 public schools, reaching over 1.2 million students. The National Bitcoin Office declared: "2026 — Bitcoin and AI. We are going all-in."

El Salvador — The Country
Volcanos · Coffee · Surf · Culture
Land of Volcanoes
El Salvador has more volcanoes per square mile than almost anywhere on earth — over 20 in total, with several still active. Hiking Santa Ana, El Boquerón, and Izalco offers unmatched adventure tourism. The volcanic landscape powers geothermal energy, enriches the soil for world-class coffee, and defines a national identity increasingly marketed to global travellers.
World-Class Surf
Punta Roca in La Libertad is ranked among the top 10 point breaks in the world, and the 2024 Paris Olympics put El Salvadoran surf on the global stage. The "Surf City" initiative has transformed the coast into boutique hotels, surf camps, and fishing villages attracting international visitors year-round.
Exceptional Coffee
El Salvador produces some of Central America's most prized specialty coffee, grown at altitude on volcanic slopes. The mineral-rich soil gives it a distinctive profile that top roasters seek out. The Apaneca-Ilamatepec mountain range is UNESCO-recognised and produces bourbon and pacamara varieties fetching premium prices globally.

Artificial Intelligence
EL SALVADOR GOES ALL-IN ON AI.
In 2025, El Salvador moved from Bitcoin pioneer to dual-stack nation — passing dedicated AI legislation, launching the National AI Agency, acquiring NVIDIA's most powerful processors, and partnering with xAI to deploy Grok across the entire public school system.

AI Promotion Law
On February 26, 2025, El Salvador's Legislative Assembly passed the Law for the Promotion of Artificial Intelligence and Technologies — one of the first dedicated national AI legal frameworks in the world. It created ANIA, established IP protections, and limited liability for innovators.
National AI Agency (ANIA)
ANIA launched in June 2025 as a decentralised institution under the presidency — a one-stop shop for AI procedures, promoting collaboration with Google AI, NVIDIA, and international universities, and running national talent development programs.
NVIDIA B300 Acquisition
In November 2025, El Salvador became the first country in the region to acquire NVIDIA B300 supercomputing processors — the world's most powerful AI chips. President Bukele personally announced the delivery.
xAI / Grok Education Partnership
In December 2025, the government partnered with Elon Musk's xAI to deploy Grok across 5,000 public schools, reaching over 1.2 million students. Budget: $150M over 3 years.
2026 Strategy
The National Bitcoin Office declared: "2026: El Salvador takes the lead. We are going all-in on abundance, excellence, and the strategic dominance of Bitcoin and AI."

EV
Electric Vehicles & Infrastructure
THE ELECTRIC FRONTIER.
El Salvador ranks among the top 10 fastest-growing EV markets globally in 2025. The government has made a decisive move: 0% import duty and full VAT exemption on electric vehicles, powered by the country's own geothermal and solar grid. Charging infrastructure is the next critical gap — and the ground-floor opportunity.
Full customs exemption on electric and hybrid vehicles — plus VAT waived on import value. Signed into law May 2021.
Top 10
Fastest Growing EV Market
El Salvador entered the global top 10 fastest-growing EV markets in H1 2025, driven by tax incentives and early fast-charging corridor investment.
~25%
Grid from Geothermal
El Salvador generates roughly a quarter of its electricity from volcanic geothermal sources — making EV charging among the cleanest and cheapest in Central America.
∅
Charging Network Gap
Public fast-charging infrastructure is critically underdeveloped relative to EV adoption growth — creating an immediate first-mover opportunity for private investors.
The ESVC Opportunity
ESVC is actively pursuing EV charging infrastructure development across El Salvador — from highway fast-charging corridors connecting San Salvador, Santa Ana, and San Miguel, to urban charging hubs at commercial centres, hotels, and tourist destinations. Powered by the national geothermal grid, backed by government incentives, and aligned with the country's clean-energy roadmap, this is a rare convergence of policy support, first-mover timing, and a rapidly growing driver base. We are seeking partners and investors to build this network from the ground up.
