El Salvador Adds 29 BTC Since August 28 Amid Continued Accumulation Strategy

El Salvador has added 29 BTC to its reported holdings since August 28, according to Cointelegraph. This accumulation highlights the country's continued strategy of purchasing Bitcoin.

The figure comes amid ongoing attention on El Salvador's Bitcoin holdings and the government's approach to managing its cryptocurrency reserves.

El Salvador became the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021 under President Nayib Bukele. The government has maintained a prominent Bitcoin reserve strategy since then, although reported accumulation has been subject to scrutiny under the country's agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

In September 2026, the IMF said that the increase in El Salvador's Bitcoin holdings since its first review of the lending program in June 2025 was attributed to private donations rather than purchases financed with public resources.
