El Salvador's 7,474 BTC looks impressive, but once the IMF takes notice, the narrative of daily DCA might turn into an accounting game of shifting money from one hand to the other.

CoinWorld News: El Salvador's strategic bitcoin reserve has once again come into focus. As of June 29, 2026, the country's government holds 7,474 bitcoins, worth approximately $446 million. Despite bitcoin's price fluctuating between $59,000 and $60,000, El Salvador's narrative of accumulating 1 bitcoin per day conflicts with the conditions of the IMF program, which restricts new voluntary bitcoin purchases by the public sector. The IMF agreement includes not allowing the public sector to voluntarily accumulate bitcoin and revokes bitcoin's status as mandatory legal tender. Although the country's bitcoin reserve increased from 5,968 bitcoins in December 2024 to 7,474, an IMF spokesperson stated that this growth reflects transfers between wallets owned by the government, rather than new market purchases.
