El Salvador: $138 million from the IMF despite the Bitcoin setback

El Salvador will receive an additional $138 million from the IMF despite a deviation related to its commitments on Bitcoin. The institution approved the second and third reviews of its financing program and granted several waivers to the country. The BTC case file remains under surveillance. The IMF still wants to reduce the state’s direct involvement in crypto.

The IMF immediately releases about $138 million to El Salvador.

Some program criteria were not met, especially regarding Bitcoin.

The IMF no longer expects accumulation of BTC beyond the donations already documented.

Bitcoin does not prevent the disbursement of the $138 million

On October 1, the IMF’s executive board approved the second and third reviews of the Salvadoran program. This decision releases SDR 101.96 million, about $138 million. The financing is part of a much broader agreement. In February 2025, El Salvador secured a 40-month program providing access to roughly $1.4 billion.

Bitcoin was already part of the sensitive conditions. The country had committed to limiting public accumulation of BTC and reducing the state’s involvement in its crypto ecosystem. However, the IMF now admits that some performance criteria have not been met, especially those related to Bitcoin accumulation.

It’s not the first time. Last year, El Salvador was already accused of circumventing some IMF rules on Bitcoin. This time, Washington does not block the financing. The IMF granted waivers after reviewing the corrective measures taken by the authorities and their new commitments. Therefore, $138 million will be available immediately.

El Salvador accumulates bitcoins, but not with state money

El Salvador continues to show an increasing Bitcoin reserve. However, the state would not have used public money to buy the BTC added since June 2025. The IMF says it has received documents showing that this increase comes from private donations. The official reserve now stands at approximately 7,764 bitcoins.

El Salvador holds around 7,764 BTC in its official reserve.

Bitcoin keeps flowing into El Salvador's reserves

The official figures continued to give the impression of regular purchases. In June, El Salvador was already showing 7,687 bitcoins despite pressure from the IMF. The reserve now stands at approximately 7,764 BTC. The government counter continued to move after the first review of the IMF program, completed on June 27, 2025.

One move attracted particular attention. More than 1,000 bitcoins joined the official wallets in November. Public tracking then continued to show inflows of close to one BTC per day.

Nayib Bukele himself assured in March 2025 that Bitcoin purchases would not stop. The IMF today offers another explanation. The additional BTC would not be financed from the Salvadoran budget. They would have been donated.

The IMF releases $138 million to El Salvador with conditions regarding Bitcoin holdings

The International Monetary Fund has approved a $138 million disbursement to El Salvador as part of an ongoing lending program, after the country agreed to limit its Bitcoin activity.

The IMF’s conditions require El Salvador not to accumulate more Bitcoin than the amounts received as documented donations. It is also expected that the government will fully liquidate the remaining exposure of the state to Chivo, the government-backed Bitcoin wallet launched alongside El Salvador’s 2021 legal tender law.

The disbursement indicates an ongoing commitment between the IMF and El Salvador despite the country’s previous adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender—a policy that had complicated relations with the fund. The requirement to unwind Chivo suggests that the IMF is pressing for a clear separation between state finances and crypto infrastructure.
