儘管國際貨幣基金組織發出紓困警告，薩爾瓦多仍將繼續購買比特幣

薩爾瓦多是世界上第一個採用加密貨幣作為法定貨幣的國家，儘管國際貨幣基金組織（IMF）警告減少其比例，但仍計劃繼續購買比特幣。

El Salvador, which became the first country in the world to adopt cryptocurrency as legal tender, plans to continue purchasing Bitcoin despite warnings from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to reduce its proportion.

薩爾瓦多成為世界上第一個採用加密貨幣作為法定貨幣的國家，儘管國際貨幣基金組織（IMF）警告減少其比例，但仍計劃繼續購買比特幣。

According to a Reuters report on the 19th (local time), El Salvador secured a bailout of $1.4 billion (about 2.29 trillion won) from the IMF on the condition of reducing Bitcoin-related policies in the public sector.

根據路透社19日（當地時間）報道，薩爾瓦多以減少公共部門與比特幣相關的政策為條件，從國際貨幣基金組織獲得了14億美元（約2.29萬億韓元）的紓困。

The IMF stated that as a condition for financial support, "Bitcoin-related economic activities, transactions, and purchases in the public sector will be restricted," and "legal reforms will be made to allow the private sector to voluntarily accept Bitcoin."

IMF表示，作為財政支持的條件，“公共部門與比特幣相關的經濟活動、交易和購買將受到限制”，“將進行法律改革，允許私營部門自願接受比特幣”。

A day after the IMF's announcement, the El Salvadoran government announced its intention to continue purchasing Bitcoin.

在國際貨幣基金組織宣布這項消息的第二天，薩爾瓦多政府宣布打算繼續購買比特幣。

Stacy Herbert, head of the Bitcoin Office (ONBTC) under the direct control of the President of El Salvador, stated on X (formerly Twitter), "Bitcoin will remain as legal tender," and "El Salvador will continue to purchase it for strategic Bitcoin reserves."

薩爾瓦多總統直接控制下的比特幣辦公室（ONBTC）負責人史黛西·赫伯特（Stacy Herbert）在X（前Twitter）上表示，“比特幣將繼續作為法定貨幣”，並且“薩爾瓦多將繼續購買比特幣用於戰略目的”。比特幣儲備。”

This move is analyzed as a measure to prevent the perception that Bitcoin's status has declined in El Salvador following the IMF bailout.

此舉被分析為一種措施，旨在防止人們認為比特幣在薩爾瓦多的地位因國際貨幣基金組織的救助而下降。

Eugene Epstein, head of North American trading and structured products at Moneycorp, viewed the government's announcement of additional Bitcoin purchases as "possibly a response to negative shocks."

Moneycorp 北美交易和結構性產品主管尤金·愛潑斯坦 (Eugene Epstein) 認為，政府宣布額外購買比特幣「可能是對負面衝擊的回應」。

Under President Bukele's leadership, El Salvador became the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021, using the national budget to purchase Bitcoin. The El Salvadoran government refers to this as 'Strategic Bitcoin Reserves' (SBR).

在布克萊總統的領導下，薩爾瓦多於2021年成為世界上第一個採用比特幣作為法定貨幣的國家，利用國家預算購買比特幣。薩爾瓦多政府稱之為「戰略比特幣儲備」（SBR）。

The IMF has previously urged El Salvador to cancel its adoption of Bitcoin as legal tender, citing "significant risks to financial stability, fiscal soundness, consumer protection, and fiscal contingent liabilities."

國際貨幣基金組織先前曾敦促薩爾瓦多取消採用比特幣作為法定貨幣，理由是「對金融穩定、財政穩健、消費者保護和財政或有負債構成重大風險」。

El Salvador, which holds 5,968 Bitcoins, suffered a 60% loss around November 2022 due to price declines, but reportedly saw over 90% profit recently due to the 'Trump effect' causing a price surge.

持有 5,968 枚比特幣的薩爾瓦多，由於價格下跌，在 2022 年 11 月左右遭受了 60% 的損失，但據報道，由於「川普效應」導致價格飆升，近期利潤超過 90%。
