IMF: El Salvador Paused Public Bitcoin Buying Since June

The International Monetary Fund recently confirmed that El Salvador has not utilized public funds to add to its bitcoin holdings since June 2025. This update clarifies how the nation has managed its crypto treasury over the last several months.

According to the report, any bitcoin acquired by the country after that date came from private donations rather than government coffers. This distinction is significant for observers who have long tracked the fiscal implications of the country adopting bitcoin as legal tender.

The update provides transparency regarding the state of El Salvador's reserves. Investors and policy watchers will continue to monitor whether the government changes its stance on using state assets for future purchases or if it remains committed to this private funding model.
