The IMF approved $138 million in funding to El Salvador despite the country not fully meeting Bitcoin-related commitments in its financing program. El Salvador had pledged to limit public Bitcoin accumulation and reduce state involvement in crypto, but the IMF accepted that new bitcoins added came from private donations, not public funds. The IMF continues to push for less state exposure to Bitcoin and greater transparency, while praising progress like transferring control of the Chivo wallet to a private operator. This funding is part of a broader $1.4 billion program supporting El Salvador's economic goals through 2025.
