🇸🇻 The IMF once again claims that El Salvador has formally wound down its Bitcoin experiment: public BTC accumulation has stopped, the Chivo wallet is being phased out, and any increase in reserves is explained as internal transfers under the EFF program.
In practice, however, the Bitcoin Office says the opposite: the country continues to buy 1 BTC per day, holds over 7500 BTC, and, according to Bitcoin Office head Stacy Herbert, these purchases are happening despite the IMF’s stance.
