The only citizenship by investment built around Bitcoin at the sovereign level. Your passport in six to eight weeks. Settled on-chain. Mined by volcanoes.
Most CBI programs sell access. El Salvador sells alignment. The Freedom Passport sits where it sits in our advisory because of four mechanical facts: each carries its own weight, and together they make this the right answer for a specific reader.
01
Alignment
Alignment, not access.
Most CBI programs sell access. El Salvador sells alignment. The only Bitcoin-native passport, issued by a nation that holds Bitcoin on its balance sheet, runs a national Bitcoin Office, and is funded only in BTC or USDT.
02
Privacy
Non-CRS by sovereign design.
The only Schengen-access citizenship by investment outside the OECD Common Reporting Standard. A Non-CRS jurisdiction, by sovereign design.
03
Mobility
One hundred thirty-two destinations.
132 destinations, Henley #36: the full Schengen Area plus Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
04
Bitcoin-Native
Settled on-chain.
Settled on-chain in BTC or USDT, mined by volcanoes, with 0% Salvadoran capital gains on Bitcoin for foreign investors.
The Country
Three landscapes. One argument.
Power and sovereignty. Origin and freedom. Stability and life. The case for El Salvador is written into the land itself.
Power & Sovereignty
Mined by volcanoes.
Geothermal state mining feeds a sovereign reserve of roughly 7,684 Bitcoin, verifiable on-chain at bitcoin.gob.sv. The only government on Earth with a Bitcoin Office. Power and sovereignty.
Origin & Freedom
Where it started.
El Zonte, Bitcoin Beach: the first circular Bitcoin economy, on a black-sand Pacific coast. Origin and freedom.
Stability & Life
Dollarized calm.
Lake Coatepeque's crater water, the coffee highlands, the US dollar since 2001, and the lowest homicide rate in the Western Hemisphere, 1.9 per 100,000 in 2024. Stability and life.
You are not buying a passport. You are aligning with a country.
The Position
Most CBI programs sell access. El Salvador sells alignment.
The Freedom Passport is the only citizenship-by-investment program on Earth where the sovereign government holds Bitcoin on its balance sheet, accepts BTC or USDT as the settlement asset, and runs the first national Bitcoin Office. The $1,000,000 contribution is the highest in the lineup, and the program is structurally for Bitcoiners whose conviction is a position, not a hobby.
The Math. Shown.
Every fee to the line. Five percent advisory. Flat.
The $1,000,000 government contribution is flat across the family. The advisory is a flat 5% of the contribution, against the 15–25% typical of traditional CBI firms.

21 CBI charges a flat 5% advisory on the government contribution only, vs the 15–25% typical of traditional CBI firms. Government contribution in BTC or USDT only; it goes direct to the government wallet. The firm does not custody the $1,000,000.
Privacy is not a privilege granted by institutions; it is a right defended through mathematics and jurisdiction. El Salvador is one of a small number of countries that has not adopted the OECD Common Reporting Standard. For Bitcoiners, this is a structural feature, not a loophole.
