The IMF approved a $138 million disbursement to El Salvador despite the country breaching rules on Bitcoin accumulation under its $1.4 billion credit facility. The IMF praised El Salvador's strong economic performance and fiscal reforms, noting that the government transferred control of the Chivo wallet to a private operator as a corrective measure. Although El Salvador's Bitcoin reserves grew to 7,792 BTC through private donations, the IMF waived the breach due to the government's corrective actions and renewed commitments to reduce state involvement in Bitcoin activities. Going forward, the IMF expects no further Bitcoin accumulation beyond documented donations and increased transparency in public sector crypto holdings.
