El Salvador, that intrepid pioneer who dared give Bitcoin its legal spotlight, continues its covert romance with the digital coin, despite the IMF’s rather embarrassed denials – as if one can simply hush a financial affair so flamboyantly publicized.
With the subtlety of a cat burglar in a diamond shop, El Salvador’s treasury quietly scooped up 7 Bitcoins, valuing over $650,000, in the seven days before April 27, as revealed by the blockchain’s unflinching stare courtesy of the country’s Bitcoin Office.
When pressed on this cryptocurrency caper, Rodrigo Valdes, the IMF’s Western Hemisphere whisperer, assured the world that El Salvador remains on the straight and narrow of its promise to cease all government Bitcoin hoarding. Charming, no?
“Regarding El Salvador, I confirm their steadfast compliance with the vow of non-accumulation of Bitcoin by the fiscal sector,” Valdes declared during his April 26 theatrics. “But alas, the saga is not simply a Bitcoin soap opera—it’s a deep dive into the dreary realms of governance and transparency,” he added, perhaps hoping we’d all yawn and look away.
Cast your minds back to December 2024, when El Salvador struck a merry $1.4 billion loan deal with the IMF—on the strict condition they demote Bitcoin from its exalted legal tender throne and halt any further BTC acquisitions.

Yet, thanks to the IMF’s delightfully elastic definition of rules, a counsel of blockchain sage Anndy Lian surmises there’s plenty of wiggle room. Purchases might be secretly fogged through non-governmental cloaks or clever asset reclassifications, preserving an impeccable veneer of “technical compliance.”
“This cunning strategy allows El Salvador to keep its Bitcoin bravado while clutching desperately to IMF funds, as their public finances teeter on the edge of a fiscal guillotine,” quipped Lian to CryptoMoon.
Our blockchain bard further points out the existential tug-of-war between avant-garde financial wizardry and the stodgy old guard of economic orthodoxy. El Salvador, in its audacity, offers a tutorial for any nation tempted by crypto’s siren song—one must master the delicate art of regulatory gymnastics and jousting with global financial behemoths.
