El Salvador’s government has continued to buy Bitcoin despite the deal. The day after it made an agreement with the IMF, the country bought $1 million worth of Bitcoin. 

National Bitcoin Office Director Stacy Herbert took to X in late December to say that the country’s Bitcoin plans had not changed.

A Bitcoin Office spokesperson also previously told Cointelegraph that the country intends to keep buying Bitcoin, with plans to “intensify in 2025.”
