El Salvador`s President Nayib Bukele said on Saturday (June 5) that he will send a bill to Congress next week to make bitcoin legal tender in the country.
"In the short term this will generate jobs and help provide financial inclusion to thousands outside the formal economy," Bukele said in a video shown at the Bitcoin 2021 conference in Miami.
Strike, a mobile payments app that launched in El Salvador in March, said in a statement that it welcomed the legislation and was working with the country to make using bitcoin technology a success.
