?? DESCRIPTION

Czech Central Bank Governor Ale? Michl announced that the bank is testing the use of Bitcoin in its portfolio. Speaking at the Bitcoin 2026 Conference, Michl stated that allocating approximately 1% of central bank reserves to Bitcoin could increase returns without increasing risk. He emphasized that this approach offers significant opportunities, particularly in terms of asset diversification.

According to Michl, Bitcoin stands out as a remarkable tool for portfolio diversification due to its low long-term correlation with traditional financial assets. In this context, it was noted that the Czech Central Bank has made significant changes to its portfolio allocation in recent years. Over the past four years, the bank increased its equity investments from 15% to 26%, while also raising its gold reserves from zero to 6%.

Michl stated that the central bank is already working on a test portfolio that includes Bitcoin, and that the results of this process will be shared with the public within two years. Based on the data obtained, a decision will be made on whether or not to include Bitcoin in the official reserves.

On the other hand, it was noted that the Czech Republic has recently implemented a tight monetary policy. The country managed to reduce inflation, which reached levels of 20% in 2022, to approximately 2% within two years. This success is considered a result of the central bank’s disciplined approach.

According to experts, central banks turning to alternative assets could signal significant changes in the global financial system.
