El Salvador’s Bitcoin treasury stands at 7,696.37 BTC, worth roughly $460 million, after the country added 8 BTC over the past week while maintaining its stated policy of buying Bitcoin every day. The update now sits alongside pressure from International Monetary Fund loan conditions that ban new public-sector Bitcoin purchases, creating tension with President Nayib Bukele’s accumulation strategy and raising questions about how the country’s reported daily buying program fits with those restrictions.
