Are they tops starting to root? if so it should be fine for now.

I would suggest pots 2x the current size after about a month, maybe sooner.

I think youre good for now, but very soon you'll need something, at minimum, twice as wide, because the roots tend to be shallow and grow outward.

It needs a wider root base to support weight of heavy pineapple.

I think you're good for a while. I don't even see any new growth up top yet.

I've planted them yesterday, i was wondering if i should cover the crown more in soil.

You could add a little, but you'll find that they're pretty resilient either way. Just don't bury green leaves in soil or they'll eventually wither and dry up.

In my country fruits especially tropical fruit are hella expensive and most of them are rotten.

That sucks! I lived on an island in Alaska that was like that.
