The governor of the Czech National Bank publicly endorsed the inclusion of Bitcoin in the central bank's reserves, stating, "This is the future."
According to The Block, Ales Michl, the Governor of the Czech National Bank, delivered a keynote speech at the btc-42">Bitcoin 2026 conference in Las Vegas, publicly advocating for the inclusion of Bitcoin in the central bank's reserve portfolio. Michl stated that the bank manages approximately $180 billion in reserves, and internal research shows that allocating just 1% of assets to Bitcoin could enhance overall expected returns with minimal change in risk, due to Bitcoin's low correlation with other reserve assets.
The Czech National Bank had previously completed its first test purchase of Bitcoin in November 2025, becoming the world's first central bank to acquire Bitcoin.
