IMF confirms El Salvador used no public funds for Bitcoin accumulation since June 2025
The International Monetary Fund stated that El Salvador's recent Bitcoin additions did not rely on public money, enabling the approval of the next funding tranche under its loan program.
The International Monetary Fund announced that El Salvador has not utilized public money to acquire Bitcoin since June 27, 2025. Following the verification of documentation submitted by the government, the lender approved a $140 million disbursement as part of the country's $1.4 billion Extended Fund Facility established in February 2025.
Under the terms of the 40-month IMF arrangement, El Salvador committed not to expand its public-sector Bitcoin holdings. The IMF noted that recent additions to the national reserve were sourced from private donations, while other balance changes were attributed to internal transfers between government-controlled wallets rather than new state-financed purchases.
As of September 4, 2026, El Salvador held 7,764 BTC with an estimated valuation of $628.3 million, acquired at a total cost of approximately $388.9 million. With an average purchase price of $67,290.83 per coin and Bitcoin trading near $80,983, the country's holdings show roughly $239.4 million in unrealized gains, while the national economy is projected to expand by 4.5% in 2026.
These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
