The Czech National Bank (CNB) has approved a proposal to assess the possibility of expanding its investment portfolio, potentially including Bitcoin and other asset classes.
This decision follows increasing efforts to diversify reserves over the past two years.
During its latest meeting, the CNB Bank Board reviewed international reserve management for 2024 and agreed to analyze new investment options. The move, proposed by Governor Aleš Michl, aims to determine whether adding alternative assets would enhance diversification and returns.
While no immediate changes will be made, the analysis will guide future investment decisions. Any adjustments to reserve allocations will be disclosed in the CNB’s quarterly reports and annual financial statements.
The decision comes just a day after Governor Michl suggested that Bitcoin is “worth considering” as part of the central bank’s reserves. His remarks reflect growing global interest in Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty.
If Bitcoin is ultimately included, the CNB would join a growing list of institutions exploring digital assets as part of their financial strategy. The outcome of the assessment will shape how the Czech central bank adapts to evolving market trends.
