The editorialized title is linkbait, but the actual IMF page is an interesting read.
Only one small section of the page, Section 13, actually contains the sentence "Bitcoin should not be used as legal tender," but the sentence is conditioned on the country properly addressing the various risks to financial stability mentioned elsewhere in the page. It's unfair to quote only that one sentence, without providing any context.
Section 13 is in fact titled "Efforts to improve financial inclusion and raise growth are welcome, but risks arising from Bitcoin as a legal tender, the new payments ecosystem and trading in Bitcoin should be addressed."
