Alejandro Zelaya, El Salvador’s finance minister, stated in early June that although the country had previously sold some of its bitcoin to support the Chivo Pets animal hospital, it was still holding onto the coins it was now buying. Bukele stated in October of last year that the nation would not be selling any bitcoin for the initiative, noting that the funding for Chivo Pets will come from an excess in a government trust fund as a result of the increased value of bitcoin.
