Profits or “surpluses” from the state Bitcoin Trust account will be used to build 20 schools under President Nayib Bukele. November 2nd, President’s press secretary tweeted:
“When this project started, we didn’t make a lot of money with FIDEBITCOIN [state BTC Trust account] like we did now. So we decided to found the first 20 Bitcoin schools. “
