Panama City’s Mayor Mayer Mizrachi is exploring the creation of a Bitcoin reserve, inspired by El Salvador’s pioneering approach to digital currency. This initiative, which could revolutionize regional economic strategies, was sparked during a meeting with crypto experts in Panama City. The discussion took place after Mayor Mizrachi shared cryptic hints about his plan on X, further adding weight to the potential move. El Salvador’s strategists Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert were also present at the gathering. 2025’s Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas may offer further clarity on this initiative. Panama City plans to incorporate El Salvador’s financial literacy programs into local education frameworks, while potentially exploring utilizing cryptocurrencies for public payments like taxes, hinting at a forward-thinking approach to municipal finance. The possibility of integrating cryptocurrencies for public transactions requires the development of sophisticated systems for converting crypto to fiat currency. The long-term impact could see Panama City’s hydroelectric resources playing a role in sustainable Bitcoin mining, mirroring El Salvador’s successful implementation of Bitcoin mining powered by geothermal energy. While exploring integration with Bitcoin, the municipality might also find itself at the forefront of regulatory innovation within Latin America, potentially leading the way for new financial and technological developments.
