ChainCatcher report: This week, the Salvadoran government added 1 additional bitcoin to its national bitcoin reserve, bringing the total holdings to 7,762 bitcoins. At a bitcoin price of approximately $77,000, this holding is valued at around $598 million. Previously, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), as part of a $1.4 billion financing agreement, requested El Salvador to halt public sector bitcoin purchases and make merchant acceptance of bitcoin voluntary; corresponding legal amendments revoked bitcoin’s legal tender status but did not terminate the policy of increasing the reserve. Since 2021, when El Salvador became the first country to adopt bitcoin as legal tender, it has consistently maintained a policy of purchasing 1 bitcoin daily. From January to April this year, the government has added over 1,600 bitcoins to its reserve.
