WHAT HAPPENED

President Nayib Bukele denied that El Salvador had transferred all of the country's bitcoin reserves. The headline does not establish that such a transfer occurred.

SO WHAT?

Changes involving sovereign bitcoin holdings could affect confidence in El Salvador's financial policy, but no transfer is confirmed here.
