El Salvador Unveils Plan For A Bitcoin City | Bitcoin Review #13 December 3, 2021
December 2021 - Crypto
Last week El Salvador unveiled its plan to create a "Bitcoin City". The city will be constructed near the Conchagua volcano, and use the geothermal energy from the volcano to mine Bitcoin. The city will have residential and commercial areas, services, entertainment, restaurants, and an airport. El Salvador also announced its plan to raise $1 billion via a "Bitcoin Bond". Half of the funds will be used to buy Bitcoin, while the other half will be used to fund energy and Bitcoin mining infrastructure. El Salvador also announced they "bought the dip" last week and purchased an additional 100 Bitcoin during the selloff.
Crypto companies continue to see large influxes of capital. Binance is currently in talks with sovereign wealth funds about taking a stake in the company. It believes an investment from a sovereign wealth fund would help improve its "perception and relationships" with various governments. The Bitcoin mining company Bitdeer announced it will be going public via a SPAC. The company will be valued around $4 billion, and it will list on the Nasdaq.
