The founder of ARK Invest, a leading US asset manager, held a meeting with President Nayib Bukele, in which they discussed investment opportunities with Bitcoin and artificial intelligence.

Cathie Wood, founder and CEO of ARK Invest, an asset manager that launched one of the bitcoin ETFs listed on the U.S. stock exchange this year and is a major investor in Tesla, said President Nayib Bukele could increase El Salvador’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by a factor of 10 in his second term.
“Leveraging bitcoin and artificial intelligence, President Bukele could multiply by 10 the GDP of El Salvador during his next five-year term,” she wrote in X, as a conclusion of the meeting she held with the president last week.
In addition, the expert assured that the head of state showed openness to the idea of introducing part of the curriculum of ARK educational projects on artificial intelligence, robotics, blockchain, and energy, in national schools.
“President Nayib Bukele’s determination to turn El Salvador into an oasis for the bitcoin and artificial intelligence communities of the biggest technological revolutions in history is the reason why I believe its real GDP could multiply by 10 during the next five years,” he noted.
