POPA ReconThe IMF allocated El Salvador $139 million, overlooking the BTC limit breach, and again called for no further bitcoin purchases.
The IMF considered the BTC increase since the first review to have come from private donations rather than the state budget, and granted a one-time exception. There is no confirmation that the government is continuing to buy BTC, only suspicions from commentators. BTC holders do not need to act.
