薩爾瓦多不顧國際貨幣基金組織協議，加倍購買比特幣，購買了 11 個比特幣

薩爾瓦多重申了對比特幣的投入，即使在與國際貨幣基金組織（IMF）達成融資協議後，仍保持積極收購的策略。

El Salvador purchased 11 more bitcoins on Monday, bringing the country’s total crypto holdings to more than 5,980 coins.

薩爾瓦多周一又購買了 11 枚比特幣，使該國的加密貨幣總持有量達到 5,980 枚以上。

The latest batch of coins was bought at an average price of $96,463.09 each, according to the National Bitcoin Office. The total price paid was $1,061,053.

據國家比特幣辦公室稱，最新一批代幣的平均購買價格為每枚 96,463.09 美元。支付的總價為 1,061,053 美元。

The government began adding bitcoin to its national treasury in September 2021, when it became the first country to legalize the cryptocurrency.

政府於 2021 年 9 月開始將比特幣納入國庫，成為第一個將加密貨幣合法化的國家。

El Salvador’s bitcoin holdings are now worth more than $577 million, based on the latest price of bitcoin on Monday evening.

根據週一晚間比特幣的最新價格，薩爾瓦多持有的比特幣目前價值超過 5.77 億美元。

The government’s bitcoin purchases have slowed significantly in 2024, compared to last year, when President Nayib Bukele announced almost daily purchases of bitcoin.

與去年相比，2024 年政府的比特幣購買量顯著放緩，當時總統 Nayib Bukele 宣布幾乎每天都購買比特幣。

However, officials at the National Bitcoin Office have said that the government plans to accelerate its bitcoin acquisitions in the coming months.

然而，國家比特幣辦公室的官員表示，政府計劃在未來幾個月內加速比特幣收購。

The government’s bitcoin purchases are part of a broader strategy to transform El Salvador into a crypto hub and to boost economic growth.

政府購買比特幣是將薩爾瓦多轉變為加密貨幣中心並促進經濟成長的更廣泛策略的一部分。

But the country’s bitcoin strategy has also faced pressure from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which reached an agreement with El Salvador on a $1.4 billion loan in December.

但該國的比特幣策略也面臨國際貨幣基金組織（IMF）的壓力，國際貨幣基金組織於 12 月與薩爾瓦多就 14 億美元貸款達成協議。

As part of the agreement, the government pledged to scale back some of its bitcoin-related activities, including removing the mandatory requirement for businesses to accept bitcoin.

作為協議的一部分，政府承諾縮減一些與比特幣相關的活動，包括取消企業接受比特幣的強制性要求。

Instead, bitcoin acceptance will now be optional. Additionally, tax payments will only be accepted in the U.S. dollar, and the Chivo crypto wallet, a government-backed platform launched in 2021, will be phased out.

相反，比特幣的接受現在將是可選的。此外，納稅將僅接受美元，並且 2021 年推出的政府支援平台 Chivo 加密錢包將被逐步淘汰。

Despite these changes, the government has emphasized its commitment to bitcoin as legal tender.

儘管發生了這些變化，政府仍強調對比特幣作為法定貨幣的承諾。

Officials at the National Bitcoin Office said that the government plans to continue promoting bitcoin-related initiatives, including advancing capital markets, fostering private-sector bitcoin wallets, and supporting educational programs.

國家比特幣辦公室的官員表示，政府計劃繼續推動與比特幣相關的舉措，包括推動資本市場、培育私部門比特幣錢包以及支持教育計畫。

Blockchain developer training and financial literacy programs will also remain key priorities to strengthen the country’s cryptocurrency ecosystem.

區塊鏈開發人員培訓和金融知識計畫也將仍然是加強該國加密貨幣生態系統的關鍵優先事項。
