Czech National Bank President Ales Michl has given the green light to Bitcoin investment.

In an interview with the Financial Times, Michl announced that he would present a plan to the board of directors suggesting to invest 5% of the bank's reserves in Bitcoin. If this plan is approved, the Czech National Bank could make a Bitcoin investment of approximately EUR 7 billion(7,3 billion USD).

Are Central Banks Turning to Bitcoin?

Michl emphasized that Bitcoin offers a good diversification opportunity as an alternative investment asset. He also highlighted that Bitcoin's rise is not dependent on the support of US President Donald Trump, indicating that the cryptocurrency will continue its upward trend with existing global investor interest.

Bitcoin, gained more than double its value in 2024 with Trump's announcement of being a "crypto-friendly president" and the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US. Michl also noted that investor interest has increased, especially with the release of Bitcoin ETFs by BlackRock and other major financial companies.

The Czech National Bank's move strengthens the possibility that central banks may start to include Bitcoin in their reserve management. If the board approves the plan, the Czech Republic will be one of the first central banks in the world to hold Bitcoin in its official reserves.
