Paraguayan President’s X Account Hacked, Bitcoin Hoax Denied

Main Event

On June 9, 2025, the X account of Paraguayan President Santiago Peña was hacked, falsely announcing Bitcoin’s adoption as legal tender in Paraguay. The presidency quickly denied these claims, confirming the incident as a hoax.

Importance

The hoax underscores the vulnerability of social media accounts and highlights the necessity for heightened security measures to protect against misinformation impacting market sentiment.

In a startling incident on June 9, 2025, the official X account of Paraguayan President Santiago Peña was hacked, spreading false information about Paraguay’s adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender. The post, atypically in English, falsely promised a BTC reserve for a national bond program.

Santiago Peña’s team acted swiftly, with the presidency’s verified X account issuing a statement denying the claims and identifying the post as unauthorized. This event caused minimal disruption to Bitcoin markets, as the post was quickly identified as a hoax. Official channels confirmed there was no allocation of national funds toward cryptocurrency initiatives, diminishing long-term financial impacts.

Social media’s susceptibility to hacks of prominent accounts underscores potential political and market vulnerabilities. The hoax, only indirectly affecting Bitcoin markets, failed to shift policies or regulations in Paraguay. Santiago Peña, President of Paraguay, stated, “The bitcoin-related information was false and that a non-authorized person may have accessed the account.”

Past occurrences of high-profile account hacks, like those targeting major public figures, often involve cryptocurrency scams. These incidents highlight the ongoing need for digital security improvements within governments and social media platforms.
