In parallel, El Salvador remains committed to its Bitcoin strategy, albeit with adjustments aligned with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreement. While direct public sector Bitcoin purchases have paused due to the terms of a $1.4 billion IMF deal, the country continues to accumulate small amounts of Bitcoin daily through its Bitcoin Office. In the past month, El Salvador acquired an additional 32 Bitcoins, bringing its total reserves to 6,161 BTC. Recent legal reforms have removed Bitcoin as a mandatory legal tender and ended its use for tax payments. These changes aim to improve El Salvador’s access to development financing while complying with IMF loan conditions.
President Nayib Bukele reiterated his commitment to the country’s Bitcoin policy, emphasizing the ongoing accumulation of Bitcoin despite IMF pressures. IMF officials have clarified that the focus of the current program is on structural reforms and macroeconomic stability, rather than Bitcoin. With reserves totaling 6,161 BTC, El Salvador is officially one of the largest Bitcoin holders globally, ranking sixth after the United States, China, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, and Bhutan.
