IMF Says El Salvador’s Bitcoin Accumulation Since June 2025 Did Not Use Public Funds

Bitcoin News said in a post on X that the International Monetary Fund stated El Salvador’s bitcoin accumulated since June 2025 was not purchased with public funds, and that the buildup reflected private donations. The statement adds a new detail to the long-running scrutiny around the country’s bitcoin holdings and how those assets are accounted for. The post also referred to an earlier disclosure by El Salvador in November 2025, when the country said it had bought 1,090 BTC worth about $100 million, bringing total bitcoin holdings to 7,474 BTC. In addition to the funding point, the IMF said El Salvador is improving transparency around bitcoin holdings across different wallets. According to the same statement, the country is also strengthening governance and risk management for crypto-asset holdings in the public sector. The remarks were cited by ChainCatcher from the Bitcoin News post on X.
