The only Bitcoin-native jurisdiction on Earth.
El Salvador's legal framework treats Bitcoin as legal tender, exempts it from capital gains tax, and grants additional incentives for foreign investors who deploy capital in BTC. Surf City Capital surfaces real estate and project opportunities optimized for Bitcoin-denominated investors.
Zero capital gains on BTC
El Salvador imposes no capital gains tax on Bitcoin transactions. Salvadorans and foreigners alike. Most jurisdictions tax appreciation; El Salvador does not.
3+ BTC investor exemption
Foreign investors contributing 3 or more BTC into Salvadoran real estate or qualifying projects receive a complete exemption on profits derived from those investments. The only framework of its kind.
Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) law
Tether, Bitfinex, Strike, and other digital-asset firms have licensed and headquartered in El Salvador. DASPs pay no corporate or municipal income tax.
Lightning-native economy
Bitcoin Beach (El Zonte) is the world's first BTC-circulating economy. Lightning POS is widely accepted. Salaries paid in BTC are legal.
BTC-denominated real estate
Surf City Capital displays every property in USD and live BTC equivalent. Bitcoin holders evaluate deals in their native unit. Some properties accept BTC directly at closing.
