Over the past day, the country purchased 12 BTC<\/a><\/strong>, bringing its total reserves to 6,068 BTC, now valued at over $554 million. The Bitcoin Office, which tracks the government\u2019s acquisitions, revealed that 11 BTC were bought at an average price of $101,816, followed by another purchase at $99,114.<\/p>\n

Despite recent regulatory adjustments under an International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreement, El Salvador continues to buy Bitcoin. The Bitcoin Office announced<\/a><\/strong> that the country had accumulated 21 BTC this week alone and 60 BTC in the past month, emphasizing its long-term commitment to the asset. Officials have reiterated that the government\u2019s Bitcoin strategy remains unchanged and that purchases will continue, with plans to accelerate acquisitions in 2025.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Bitcoin\u2019s price briefly dropped to $96,000 before rebounding to around $98,000. The latest investment follows President Nayib Bukele\u2019s recent agreement with the IMF, which required El Salvador to adjust its Bitcoin policies. As part of the deal, businesses were no longer mandated to accept BTC, and the government reduced its involvement in the state-backed Chivo wallet.<\/p>\n
