Nayib Bukele, President of El Salvador, met with Michael Saylor, the co-founder of  MicroStrategy, at the presidential palace on Tuesday.

The meeting of Bukela and Saylor was confirmed by the country’s National Bitcoin Office. However, the details of their conversation weren’t shared, but both are strong Bitcoin supporters.

Bukele and Saylor posted photos of their meeting on social media, with Saylor mentioning they discussed how El Salvador could help speed up global Bitcoin adoption.

At the same time, El Salvador added one more Bitcoin to its reserves, bringing its total to 6,077 BTC, worth about $590 million. In addition, MicroStrategy just purchased 7,633 BTC , bringing its total to 478,740 BTC, which is worth over $46 billion.

In 2021, El Salvador made Bitcoin legal tender but recently changed its policies to meet conditions for a $1.4 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).  The IMF has been critical of El Salvador’s Bitcoin strategy, warning it could cause financial risks.

As part of the loan agreement, the country is expected to reduce some of its Bitcoin-related programs, raising questions about the future of its crypto policies.

The meeting may have covered topics like Bitcoin adoption, regulatory changes, and investment opportunities. They could have also discussed El Salvador’s Bitcoin strategy amid IMF conditions and the future of crypto payments in the country.
