How El Salvador Got $138M from the IMF While Stacking Bitcoin 🚨🏦
On 1 October 2026, the International Monetary Fund approved about $138M for El Salvador under its $1.4B loan program. 🌐💼
The surprise came when the IMF waived its strict limit on state crypto accumulation. El Salvador had continued adding to its roughly 7,790 $BTC treasury, but avoided penalties by proving zero public tax dollars were used: 🇸🇻⚡
🔹 Every new coin came strictly from verified private donations.
🔹 Capital arrived through investor initiatives like the citizenship visa.
🔹 Operational control of the Chivo wallet was transferred to a private firm.
The IMF accepted the audit and cleared the loan tranche, with one rule: every future $BTC added must carry documented donor receipts. ⚖️🔒
El Salvador secured vital global credit while protecting its sovereign reserves. 📊💰
