尽管国际货币基金组织发出救助警告，萨尔瓦多仍继续购买比特币

萨尔瓦多是世界上第一个采用加密货币作为法定货币的国家，尽管国际货币基金组织（IMF）警告减少其比例，但仍计划继续购买比特币。

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.

萨尔瓦多成为世界上第一个采用加密货币作为法定货币的国家，尽管国际货币基金组织（IMF）警告减少其比例，但仍计划继续购买比特币。

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.

据路透社19日（当地时间）报道，萨尔瓦多以减少公共部门与比特币相关的政策为条件，从国际货币基金组织获得了14亿美元（约合2.29万亿韩元）的救助。

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，作为财政支持的条件，“公共部门与比特币相关的经济活动、交易和购买将受到限制”，“将进行法律改革，允许私营部门自愿接受比特币”。

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

在国际货币基金组织宣布这一消息的第二天，萨尔瓦多政府宣布打算继续购买比特币。

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."

萨尔瓦多总统直接控制下的比特币办公室（ONBTC）负责人史黛西·赫伯特（Stacy Herbert）在 X（前 Twitter）上表示，“比特币将继续作为法定货币”，并且“萨尔瓦多将继续购买比特币用于战略目的”。比特币储备。”

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

此举被分析为一种措施，旨在防止人们认为比特币在萨尔瓦多的地位因国际货币基金组织的救助而下降。

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 北美交易和结构性产品主管尤金·爱泼斯坦 (Eugene Epstein) 认为，政府宣布额外购买比特币“可能是对负面冲击的回应”。

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).

在布克莱总统的领导下，萨尔瓦多于2021年成为世界上第一个采用比特币作为法定货币的国家，利用国家预算购买比特币。萨尔瓦多政府将其称为“战略比特币储备”（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."

国际货币基金组织此前曾敦促萨尔瓦多取消采用比特币作为法定货币，理由是“对金融稳定、财政稳健、消费者保护和财政或有负债构成重大风险”。

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 枚比特币的萨尔瓦多，由于价格下跌，在 2022 年 11 月左右遭受了 60% 的损失，但据报道，由于“特朗普效应”导致价格飙升，近期利润超过 90%。
