Czech National Bank To Assess Bitcoin as Part of Reserve Strategy

The Bank Board of the Czech National Bank (CNB) has approved a proposal to evaluate investing in new asset classes, including Bitcoin, as part of its international reserve management strategy. The decision came during a meeting today where the board reviewed a report on its international reserve management for 2024.

Governor Aleš Michl proposed the analysis, aiming to determine whether Bitcoin could enhance the diversification and returns of the central bank’s reserves. However, the CNB clarified that no immediate changes will occur, and the results of the analysis will guide any future steps. This announcement comes just a day after Michl revealed intentions to allocate up to 5% of the CNB’s €140 billion reserves to Bitcoin, in an interview with the Financial Times . This allocation could make the Czech Republic the first western central bank to embrace holding bitcoin on its balance sheet. Michl emphasized that Bitcoin specifically could offer an innovative approach to reserve management and diversification. If implemented, the CNB’s move could set a disruptive precedent for central banks globally, further highlighting the broader shift toward integrating bitcoin into traditional reserve strategies. The central bank said it plans to disclose any adjustments in its quarterly and annual reserve management reports.
