El Salvador has pushed its national Bitcoin reserve to 7,807 BTC as of October 16, worth approximately $640 to $650 million at the current price of around $82,000 per coin. Despite the agreement signed with the IMF in 2025, which restricts public sector Bitcoin purchases, the reserve has continued to grow by more than 1,700 BTC since the program began. The IMF states that recent acquisitions come from private donations, not public resources. The country dropped Bitcoin’s legal-tender status as part of the $1.4 billion loan deal, but the Bukele administration maintains its daily one-BTC accumulation strategy, in place since September 2021.
