Google collaborates with El Salvador on initiatives to modernize government services, healthcare, and education through partnership programs. The goal is to bridge the digital divide between urban and rural communities in the country. Additionally, Google is teaming up with El Salvador to launch a telemedicine platform that can be run or enhanced by machine learning technology.

The nation’s Bitcoin holdings amount to approximately 5,689 coins, resulting in a potential return on investment of around $58 million.

In contrast to conventional financial organizations, El Salvador’s Bitcoin depository acquires various digital collectibles through the Ordinals protocol.
