Czechia

The Czech National Bank has just reached an unprecedented milestone: the purchase of 1 million dollars in cryptos, including bitcoin. This is a first for a European central bank, at a time when many institutions remain cautious about cryptos. Behind this symbolic amount, it is a strong declaration of intent because the country wants to understand and test the future of finance. A discreet gesture, but one that could well announce a turning point in monetary policies in the era of these assets.

When a former dealer offers bitcoin to the Czech Justice, the minister says thank you... before falling. Morality: it's better to trace donations before ending up in the newspapers.

Gold, the euro, stocks... and Bitcoin in the Czech vault? Finance wavers between daring and caution, and Prague dances on a tightrope between volatility and ambition.

The governor of the Czech National Bank, Aleš Michl, recently proposed an ambitious plan to invest up to 7 billion dollars in Bitcoin (BTC) as part of the bank's reserve diversification strategy. This proposal, which will be presented to the bank's board of directors on January 30, 2025, could make the Czech National Bank the first European central bank to invest in Bitcoin.
