Remember when El Salvador said it was buying 1 $BTC daily? Turns out… not really. 🤥
In July 2025, the IMF revealed something wild: El Salvador stopped buying BTC in February—right after landing a sweet $1.4B loan. Publicly, they kept flexing like Bitcoin maxis. Privately, they told the IMF: “We’re done buying.” 👀
The twist? The country moved coins between wallets to look active while promising the IMF they'd slow crypto ops and chill on the Chivo Wallet.
Was it a scam? Or just survival? El Salvador scored $3B+ from global lenders while keeping their crypto street cred intact.
💡Lesson: Crypto clout can be powerful—but transparency still wins.
