El Salvador added 1,540 Bitcoin, but the IMF says Bukele’s government didn’t pay for them

El Salvador's Bitcoin reserve has grown sharply, but the IMF says recent accumulation came from private donations.

• The IMF claims El Salvador's recent Bitcoin accumulation of 1,540 BTC came from private donations, not government spending.
• This contrasts with the government's public messaging of buying 'one BTC per day,' creating uncertainty about the source of funds.
• The country has also transferred majority ownership of its Chivo e-wallet to a private operator.
