Czech National Bank Acquires Bitcoin in $1 Million Digital Asset Trial
The Czech National Bank has established a test portfolio containing Bitcoin, U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoins, and a tokenized dollar deposit valued at $1 million. The experimental account operates separately from the CNB's official international reserves and represents the first such initiative by a European Union central bank. CNB Governor Aleš Michl first proposed diversifying central bank holdings with Bitcoin in early 2025.
