Shortly after Bukele’s post, the IMF disclosed details of a $3.5 billion loan agreement with the country, stating, “As part of the loan program, the public sector has been prohibited from voluntarily accumulating Bitcoin.” In response, El Salvador added 1 Bitcoin to its holdings, seemingly defying the IMF’s ban.
Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has rebounded by 1%, temporarily trading at $86,670. Currently, the Salvadoran government holds a total of 6,100 Bitcoins, valued at approximately $530 million.
