El Salvador's Bitcoin reserve has lost half its value. Due to the price drop that the main cryptocurrency has had.
According to data published on his Twitter account by the President of the Republic, Nayib Bukele, 2,301 BTC have been purchased, in which a sum of $103 million would have been spent, at the current exchange rate.

IMF insists that El Salvador must eliminate the BTC law
According to what I just investigated, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the entity with which the Bukele government was negotiating an agreement for up to $1,400 million, urged the country to "limit the scope of the Bitcoin Law. Eliminating its status as currency of legal tender" and also expressed "concern" about the issuance of cryptocurrency-backed bonds.
