IMF Confirms El Salvador Stopped Using Public Funds for Bitcoin Purchases After June 2025
The International Monetary Fund reports that El Salvador has not employed state finances to buy bitcoin since June 2025, with all subsequent acquisitions funded by private donations.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has clarified that the Salvadoran government ceased using public money to accumulate bitcoin after June 2025. Since that date, all bitcoin purchases have been financed through private donations rather than state resources.
Public Funding Halted
According to the IMF, no fiscal allocations have been directed toward bitcoin acquisition by the government since mid‑2025. This marks a shift from earlier periods when public funds were part of the country's bitcoin buying strategy.
Private Donations Drive Purchases
Following the cessation of state‑funded purchases, the IMF notes that private donors have supplied the capital for any further bitcoin acquisitions. The source of these donations was not detailed in the report.
