Panama

Panama is known for territorial taxation – foreign-source income is not taxed in Panama, which can include Bitcoin earnings if structured correctly. Many expats enjoy Panama for its combination of modern city living in Panama City, use of the U.S. dollar, and relative affordability compared to the U.S. The country has proposed Bitcoin-friendly laws (though as of 2025 a bill to regulate Bitcoin was partially vetoed). Safety is decent – better than most of Central America. It offers a higher-development alternative to El Salvador without the official Bitcoin legal tender status. Panama City offers modern amenities, international banking, and a cosmopolitan atmosphere. The country serves as a regional hub with the famous Canal. Drawbacks: Bitcoin regulations remain somewhat unclear after the partial veto. Not as Bitcoin-focused as El Salvador. Tropical climate with humidity.
