El Salvador has increased its holdings by 31 bitcoins in the last 30 days, bringing the total to 6180.18 bitcoins.

May 18th. According to the data on the website of the Salvadoran Ministry of Finance, El Salvador once more increased its holdings of Bitcoin this morning. Currently, it holds 6180.18 Bitcoins, with a value exceeding $638 million. In the past 7 days, it has acquired 8 Bitcoins, and in the past 30 days, it has acquired 31 Bitcoins. It still maintains its plan to purchase 1 Bitcoin daily. It is worth noting that in recent months, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has been putting pressure on El Salvador to stop accumulating the decentralized value storage asset. In December 2024, El Salvador reached an agreement with the IMF to receive a $1.4 billion loan. As part of the agreement, El Salvador agreed to revoke Bitcoin's legal tender status in the country and reduce the public sector's involvement with Bitcoin. On April 27th, Rodrigo Valdes, the director of the IMF's Western Hemisphere Department, stated during a Spring Meeting press conference that El Salvador continues to abide by the commitment not to accumulate Bitcoin in its overall public sector, which is a key performance criterion of the country's agreement with the IMF.
