IMF Reveals Private Donations Fuel El Salvador's Growing Bitcoin Reserves

El Salvador's Bitcoin holdings have been a point of discussion for years due to the country's agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to limit public-sector accumulation.

According to the IMF, all Bitcoin added to official holdings since June 2025 came from private donations. The IMF stated that no further buying beyond these documented donations is expected.

El Salvador's official BTC tracker showed a balance of 7,764.37 BTC at the time of writing, with the balance jumping by 1,000 BTC in November and continuing to receive one BTC per day.
