Odaily News According to data from the website of the Ministry of Finance of El Salvador, El Salvador once again increased its holdings of 1 Bitcoin this morning, and currently holds 6,190.18 Bitcoins, worth more than $674 million. In the past 7 days, it has increased its holdings of 8 Bitcoins, and in the past 30 days, it has increased its holdings of 30 Bitcoins, and still maintains its plan to buy 1 Bitcoin per day.
In recent months, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has put pressure on El Salvador to stop accumulating decentralized value storage assets. In December 2024, El Salvador reached an agreement with the IMF to obtain a $1.4 billion loan. As part of the agreement, El Salvador agreed to cancel Bitcoin's legal tender status in the country and reduce public sector involvement in Bitcoin. On April 27, Rodrigo Valdes, director of the IMF's Western Hemisphere Department, said at a press conference at the Spring Meetings that El Salvador is still complying with its commitment to stop accumulating Bitcoin in the overall fiscal sector, which is a key performance indicator agreed by the country and the IMF.
