El Salvador Committed To Buy Bitcoin Despite IMF Requirement, Says Minister— 'Important Project' Started By Nayib Bukele

  • El Salvador purchased seven Bitcoins worth over $650,000 in the week before April 27, continuing to build its strategic reserve despite IMF concerns.
  • This action contrasts with the IMF’s condition in the $1.4 billion loan agreement reached in December 2024, which required El Salvador to stop acquiring Bitcoin through public sector purchases.
  • While the IMF states Bitcoin is not central to El Salvador’s economic program and praises governance reforms, blockchain data and the National Bitcoin Office report ongoing Bitcoin purchases.
  • El Salvador’s Economy Minister Maria Luisa Hayem described Bitcoin as a key initiative launched by President Bukele, who confirmed that the country's commitment to this effort will continue without interruption.
  • This situation highlights tension between El Salvador’s innovative crypto strategy and IMF conditions, raising questions about transparency and implications for economic prospects.
