El Salvador’s Bitcoin Zone Offers Books, Data, and Education at The National Library BINAES. – El Salvador in English

El Salvador has opened its first Bitcoin Zone at the National Library (BINAES), a space designed to highlight the country’s unique approach to digital finance and education. Inaugurated on the fourth anniversary of the Bitcoin Law, the initiative is part of a broader effort to bring financial literacy and innovation closer to the public.

The new space, located on the fifth floor of BINAES and shaped like the letter “B,” is open daily and offers specialized literature in Spanish and English. Among its featured works are The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous, Broken Money by Lyn Alden, and What Is Money? by Lina Seiche. Visitors can also access information about El Salvador’s bitcoin reserve and the government’s monetary policies tied to it.

Minister of Culture Raúl Castillo emphasized the role of the project in expanding financial understanding among Salvadorans. “The Bitcoin Zone will be a space to dialogue, debate, and learn about finance, about how to invest, and about the use of bitcoin,” he said.

Stacy Herbert, director of the National Bitcoin Office (ONBTC), credited the initiative to a proposal made in 2024 by a graduate of the CUBO+ program, who now leads Node Nation. She noted that President Nayib Bukele’s support was crucial in turning the idea into reality. “Today we celebrate four years of the Bitcoin Law in the Bitcoin country. One of the first things bitcoin did for El Salvador was rebrand the nation. Suddenly, the world was paying attention because there was a new story about money and finance.”

According to Herbert, studies show that 72 percent of Salvadorans have used bitcoin, with 30 percent currently holding it. She highlighted how youth-oriented programs are reshaping the country’s outlook, keeping talent at home while attracting global professionals. She also pointed to the upcoming arrival of bitcoin banks and the growth of capital markets, with firms like NEXBRIDGE and NEXPLACE raising millions and hiring local talent to expand blockchain infrastructure.

By blending culture, education, and digital finance, the Bitcoin Zone positions El Salvador not just as a pioneer in cryptocurrency adoption, but as a nation inviting its citizens to actively engage in shaping the future of money.
