The IMF says El Salvador has not spent a single dollar of public money on Bitcoin since June 2025.

El Salvador announced a 1,090 BTC purchase in November.

Both statements are on the record. The IMF calls the gap private donations. It will not say how much.

The same review unlocks about $140M for the country.
That is not a Bitcoin story. That is a legal one, and almost nobody is reading it that way.

Tomorrow's issue takes every Bitcoin legal story of the week and puts expert opinion and analysis on each one. Not headlines. What it actually means for you.

Plus the numbers of the week, pulled straight from this week's legal news.

And every hearing, event, vote and deadline landing next week that touches Bitcoin and the law, before it happens.

Link in bio. Be on the list before it lands.

So tell me: did Bukele outplay the IMF, or did the IMF just get a sovereign to relabel its stack and call it a win?

The poll has ended! ⚡️ Here’s what you voted for: 👇

3% raise vs. 15% inflation. Time to stop measuring wealth in fiat.

Bitcoin is risky, I’ll stick with the currency that’s been devalued 99% in the last century.

Building something that matters taught me the same lesson Bitcoin taught me:

Don’t rush trust.

Bitcoin didn’t build its reputation overnight.

Neither will you.

Every issue, every idea, every interaction is another block in the chain.

Stay consistent.
Stay patient.
Keep your promises.

Reputation compounds. Trust compounds.

Just like Bitcoin.

I buy Bitcoin and I HODL. Is that not fun enough for you?

The G20 just put “clear pathways” for digital asset innovation into its financial policy agenda.

That does not create Bitcoin law.

But it changes the question from whether governments will regulate Bitcoin to how clearly they will do it. 🧵

[2/7]

The wording matters.

G20 finance ministers and central bank governors committed to regulatory frameworks that:

• preserve financial stability
• support economic growth
• establish clear pathways for digital asset innovation

That is a policy direction, not a license or statute.

[3/7]

Bitcoin is not named specifically in the statement.

That matters.

The G20 is addressing the broader category of digital assets, so it would be wrong to claim the group just endorsed Bitcoin.

The significance for Bitcoin is what clearer rules could mean for businesses operating around it.

[4/7]

The statement also ties digital financial innovation to cross-border finance.

That matters because Bitcoin does not stop at national borders.

Rules that work in one country but collide with another create friction for exchanges, custodians, banks and other financial businesses.

The G20 is explicitly asking regulators to consider those cross-border challenges.

[5/7]

Stablecoins got a different treatment.

The G20 is waiting for forthcoming Financial Stability Board work on the cross-border implications of global stablecoins.

Translation:

Innovation gets a pathway.

Stablecoins still get scrutiny.

[6/7]

The statement also calls for longer operating hours for large-value payment systems and wider use of ISO 20022, a common format for financial payment data.

That shows the G20 is thinking about digital finance as part of the existing financial system.

Not as a replacement for it.

[7/7]

The real test is no longer the language in the statement.

It is what national regulators and lawmakers do with it.

The G20 can signal a direction.

Only domestic law can turn that signal into rules for Bitcoin.

Ireland built a tax-advantaged investment account for 2027 and left Bitcoin out of it.
