IMF Grants El Salvador Bitcoin Waiver Despite Missed Targets
02.10.2026 · Cryptonews
El Salvador secured a $1.4 billion IMF loan in 2025 but fell short on rules limiting its Bitcoin holdings. The Fund still released the next $138 million tranche after reviewing corrective steps and fresh government pledges.
Officials showed that recent Bitcoin additions came from private donations rather than state spending. At the same time, the country moved the state-backed Chivo wallet to private hands and improved anti-money-laundering rules.
The IMF noted real progress on fiscal transparency and financial-sector reforms, yet warned that El Salvador must keep reducing crypto-related risks going forward.
