  • Colombian President entered the crypto space, becoming a Bitcoin HODLer with a gift of 100,000 satoshis.
  • Petro’s acceptance of the Bitcoin gift signifies a notable shift in his financial portfolio.
  • President Petro revealed plans to integrate crypto into Colombia’s public administration and local communities.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro has ventured into the crypto realm, with Bitcoin at the forefront of his newfound interest. This unanticipated move, initiated by a generous gift from Samson Mow, CEO of Blockstream, has made Petro an official Bitcoin HODLer. However, this has also ignited discussions about the broader implications for Colombia’s future in the digital asset landscape.

It all began when Mow presented President Petro with a substantial gift—100,000 satoshis in Bitcoin. This unconventional entry into the world of crypto has raised eyebrows, not only due to the novelty of the gesture but also because it signifies a notable shift in Petro’s financial portfolio.

Speaking about the gift, Mow expressed his delight, stating, “Now, the President of Colombia is officially a Bitcoin HODLer with exactly 100,000 sats.”
