It says that the National Assembly approved and signed a bill drafted by the Minister of Digital digital technologies are these electronic tools that have the ability to generate, store or even process data. Economy, Gourna Zacko, and the Minister of Finance and Budget, Calixte Nganongo. He adds that this legislation establishes a legal and regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies. Y explicitly states that it is established that Bitcoin (BTC) is legal tender along with the Central African Franc, CFA, the country’s fiat currency.

Several tweeters shared the official press release, written in French and signed by the Director of Cabinet, Obed Namsio, who was described the decision as historic.

Central African Republic “is the first country in Africa to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender.” , dijo Namsio. “This move puts the Central African Republic on the map of the boldest and most visionary countries in the world.” stated, according to a report by Le Monde.
