In June 2025, U.S. Democratic Senator proposed Bill HB 2058, targeting El Salvador's President Bukele and his Bitcoin policies. The bill requires the U.S. State Department to submit a report on whether cryptocurrencies are being used as a tool for corruption by the Bukele regime.
The focus is on investigating the total amount of funds used by El Salvador to purchase $BTC, government-controlled Bitcoin addresses, whether there are instances of misappropriation or opaque fund flows, and whether there are actions to evade international sanctions using BTC. I know many friends might wonder why this is an issue for the U.S. when it is clearly El Salvador's own matter.
In fact, since El Salvador adopted BTC as legal tender in 2021, the U.S. has been extremely vigilant towards that government. On one hand, BTC as a payment method effectively bypasses the dollar settlement system; it is important to note that BTC is not controlled by SWIFT, and the U.S. fears it could become a channel for gray funds or terrorism financing. On the other hand, the U.S. is also concerned that if El Salvador succeeds, more underdeveloped countries might follow suit, which would further weaken the dollar's position.
Additionally, this does not seem to align with Trump's style. Trump and Bukele had quite good communication, especially regarding the use of $BTC as a strategic reserve, which has some similarities with El Salvador. Therefore, this move is more likely initiated by the Democrats, and it is not fundamentally aimed at attacking BTC, but rather an extension of dollar hegemony.
