El Salvador Bitcoin Reserve Hits 7,798 BTC Despite IMF Limits

The IMF completed two program reviews for El Salvador and released new financing. El Salvador missed some Bitcoin-related criteria and received waivers. The country’s reported Bitcoin reserve is still rising by about one coin a day. Authorities attribute the new coins to private donations, not public money. The International Monetary Fund completed the second and third reviews of El Salvador’s $1.4 billion Extended Fund Facility on October 1, 2026, releasing $138 million even though the country had not observed some performance criteria tied to Bitcoin accumulation.
