IMF will stop pushing El Salvador when other countries also buy bitcoin and make it public. Then the community will be bigger and the IMF will not be fight against everyone. That is why Bukele is strong and keeps going, he knows exactly whats coming. That is exactly what Bitcoin need when others join in. If El Salvador lose this fight, then other countries have a reason “not to buy”, or not to publish it. I am sure that many others have already bought bitcoin.
Will the IMF ever say anything negative about the US having BTC strategic reserves or Pakistan planning to do the same? Of course, this will not be the case because they can blackmail only those small countries that have no choice but to submit and accept all the conditions that have been set for them.
I think they already raised concern towards Pakistan publications, here is a thread (
IMF raises concern over Pakistan’s Bitcoin mining power plan) basically I usually think IMF is just an instrument of the US government because they wouldn't say anything regarding the US but they already show concerned for Pakistan.
Whenever it has to do with small or countries with less capacity or power IMF seem to interrupt. IMF intimidate most countries that they support with loans and I guess that's the major regrets any country that is under its loans will face if ever publish bitcoin plans.
