🇺🇳 NEW: IMF forces El Salvador to HALT its Bitcoin purchases. After approving a fresh $138M disbursement under its $1.4B program, the IMF granted El Salvador a waiver for breaching its Bitcoin accumulation limits set by the Fund. The Fund is also demanding greater transparency around the government’s Bitcoin holdings in continued efforts to reduce the state’s involvement in Bitcoin-related activities. No further government BTC accumulation is envisaged beyond documented donations, effectively endings El Salvador’s sovereign Bitcoin buying spree.
