El Salvador's Bitcoin (BTC) Treasury Reaches 7,807 Coins

El Salvador Adds 1,700 BTC Under IMF Terms

El Salvador holds 7,807 Bitcoin (BTC) in its national treasury, the balance the country's National Bitcoin Office last posted for 2026-10-16. The figure puts the sovereign stack past the 7,800-coin mark, and it does so inside a $1.4 billion loan agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), a deal written to bar the public sector from buying the asset with government funds. When the IMF program opened in early 2025, the treasury counted about 6,070 coins. On-chain records since then show an addition of more than 1,700 coins, growth that has continued while the loan conditions stayed in force. With the Bitcoin price near $82,600, the stack carries a dollar value of roughly $645 million; the office's own count put it between $640 million and $650 million at the roughly $82,000 price of that day. The agreement also required the country to give up Bitcoin's status as legal currency, a condition the Bukele administration carried out, while the treasury kept growing in parallel. Fund staff attribute the recent additions to private donations rather than state purchases and have said they do not expect growth beyond those gifts. The government continues to present the accumulation as an active strategy, one that turns the stack into a strategic Bitcoin reserve rather than a payments float. The Bitcoin (BTC) balance is the point of friction: El Salvador traded its legal-currency experiment for financing, but kept the coins, and the ledger shows that reserve still expanding. Crossing 7,800 coins works mostly as a marker, since each published update on the balance has come in higher than the last.

The National Bitcoin Office publishes the wallet addresses behind every coin in the treasury, so anyone can audit the balance on-chain at any moment. That disclosure makes El Salvador one of the most transparent sovereign holders in the asset, a contrast with most governments, which hold confiscated coins without publishing balances. A state wallet of this size sits in whale territory, but few whales hand the public the addresses to check them against. The verifiability cuts both ways for the government: the same ledger that proves the reserve exists also shows it grew while the loan deal was meant to limit it. The accumulation dates to September 2021, when the country made Bitcoin (BTC) legal currency alongside the US dollar and began buying for the state. The legal-currency clause has since been withdrawn under the IMF agreement, yet the holdings stayed, and the administration treats the balance as a long-term HODL rather than a trading book. For sovereign-finance observers, the open question is how long the arrangement holds. El Salvador obtained its financing, the IMF books the new coins as donations, and the public wallet keeps printing a rising balance. If fund reviewers later conclude that public money did enter the stack, the provenance of those coins becomes a dispute point in future program reviews. The IMF has flagged the reserve's volatility exposure in its past assessments of the country's finances, and the dollar value of the stack can swing hard in either direction. The buying also runs on a different track from institutional demand, where US institutions booked a 53,200 BTC net inflow this year through funds rather than a state ledger.

Support at $81,433, Resistance at $84,548

Our live monitoring shows Bitcoin at $82,644, up 1.0% over 24 hours, with Bitcoin's market cap near $1.66 trillion. The composite scoring in our Bitcoin technical analysis places the nearest support at $81,433, scored 95/100, and the first resistance at $84,548, scored 88/100, the two levels that bracket where the treasury's valuation moves next. The relative strength index reads 51.33 with the trend still an uptrend, and perp funding runs at 0.0060%, so derivatives positioning is not leaning against the holding. The price also worked its way back above $80,000 after the inflation-driven slide. At $82,644 the arithmetic is plain: 7,807 coins, about $645 million, and 1,700 more coins in the book than when the IMF program opened.
