The IMF has approved a $120 million payment to El Salvador after meeting key reform and fiscal targets.
IMF required El Salvador to stop new Bitcoin purchases and exit the Chivo wallet by July to limit state participation in Bitcoin activities.
El Salvador's Bitcoin holdings reached 6,190 BTC with an unrealized profit of $386 million, despite IMF's directive to halt increasing government-held Bitcoin.
IMF praised El Salvador's economic reform progress, citing meeting fiscal and reserve targets, advancing structural benchmarks, and ongoing fiscal consolidation measures.
