Nayib Bukele, El Salvador’s president, lounges atop a global approval chart with a 94% rating, a number so gleaming it could be polished by a silver spoon-far past his fellow dignitaries.
The ranking counts approval for 26 world leaders; Bukele’s supremacy hints at a peculiarity that tickles the crypto fancy: the sovereign-satoshi emissary who rode Bitcoin to the throne is now the most popular monarch on the planet.
The Bitcoin President Still Stacks Daily
El Salvador crowned Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021, and the state habitually buys about a coin a day, swelling the national reserve beyond 7,600 BTC.
Yet polls murmur that the byzantine security gains from Bukele’s vigorous crackdowns yield him more applause than the Bitcoin carnival itself.
Only 2.2% of Salvadorans named BTC his gravest misstep in a CID Gallup survey.
¿O sea que ahora son el 1.8%?

Where Other Leaders Stand on Crypto
South Korea’s Lee Jae-myung (63%) has declared crypto a national priority, pledging spot Bitcoin ETFs and a won-pegged stablecoin by 2026.
Javier Milei (48%) championed Bitcoin deregulation in Argentina but saw his credibility wobble after promoting the LIBRA meme coin, which collapsed and cost investors hundreds of millions.
Donald Trump (38%) signed an executive order establishing a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve funded with seized coins, positioning the country as a future “Bitcoin superpower.”
Most remaining leaders on the list follow standard regulatory frameworks, with several EU heads backing stricter oversight through the MiCA regulation.
World’s leaders approval rating:
🇸🇻 Nayib Bukele: 94%
🇷🇺 Vladimir Putin: 72%
🇮🇳 Narendra Modi: 70%
🇰🇷 Lee Jae-myung: 63%
🇨🇿 Andrej Babiš: 55%
🇨🇦 Mark Carney: 54%
🇯🇵 Sanae Takaichi: 53%
🇦🇷 Javier Milei:48%
🇨🇭 Guy Parmelin: 47%
🇲🇽 Claudia Sheinbaum: 47%
🇵🇱 Donald Tusk: 43%…– World of Statistics (@stats_feed) April 19, 2026
The chart suggests that bold pro-Bitcoin moves have not hurt leaders politically, even if domestic voters care more about security and the economy than glittering digital baubles.
