El Salvador Adds 1,090 BTC Amid Price Slump and IMF Pressure

Published at 2025-11-18 07:30:10

El Salvador has added 1,090 BTC to its national treasury amid one of the year’s steepest bitcoin sell-offs, a move that continues the country's high-profile bitcoin strategy. The purchase, completed around Nov. 18, 2025, comes as bitcoin prices fell sharply, allowing the government to increase holdings at lower levels while markets were under pressure.

The acquisition signals a sustained policy choice despite ongoing IMF concerns about fiscal and financial risks tied to bitcoin reserve exposure. For markets the transaction is more symbolic than market-moving given global liquidity, but for Salvadoran policy it heightens reserve volatility and underscores political commitment to crypto adoption. Observers say the trade will keep scrutiny on how the country manages currency risk and public finances going forward.
