What’s most worth noting isn’t “the IMF is yet again sending money to El Salvador,” but rather that certain Bitcoin-related benchmarks were not fully met—yet the IMF still granted an exemption. On October 1, the IMF completed El Salvador’s second and third assessments and approved the immediate disbursement of about $138 million, while granting exemptions for some of the unmet performance criteria that are cumulatively related to Bitcoin.
But don’t interpret this as “the IMF allows El Salvador to keep buying BTC indefinitely.” Quite the opposite: the IMF documents clearly state that in the future, no additional BTC holdings are expected unless they come from donations that have already been recorded. So what’s really interesting here is that El Salvador’s BTC roadmap is gradually shifting from “continuing to add more” to “preserving existing assets + increasing transparency.”
Do you think this counts as the IMF loosening the reins on El Salvador’s $BTC route, or is it just a one-time buffer for benchmarks that weren’t met?
