PANews reported on May 15th, according to Reuters, since 2021, El Salvador has successfully mined nearly 474 bitcoins using the geothermal energy provided by the Tecapa Volcano. This has increased the government's bitcoin reserves to 5750 coins, with a total value of nearly $354 million at current prices.
