Gate News bot news, a group of Democratic senators introduced the “2025 El Salvador Accountability Act” (S. 2058) in June, which could impose sanctions related to Bitcoin on President Nayib Bukele. The bill requires the U.S. Secretary of State to report on the Bukele government’s use of Crypto Assets (particularly Bitcoin) for corruption and evasion of sanctions.

The report will analyze the crypto assets activities in El Salvador, including the amount of public funds used for Bitcoin, listing exchanges, wallet addresses, and identifying individuals authorized to use these funds.
