The Czech National Bank (CNB) announced on November 13, 2025 the creation of a $1 million cryptocurrency test portfolio, becoming the first central bank in the world to add bitcoin to its balance sheet. The portfolio includes bitcoin, dollar stablecoins, and tokenized deposits, designed to test the process of buying, holding, and managing blockchain assets.
The CNB president, AlešMichl, said the move was intended to test decentralized bitcoin from a central bank perspective and assess its potential role in reserve diversification. The plan was approved by the board on October 30, 2025, and the investment was not increased from existing international reserves. Although the Czech Republic is a member of the European Union, it does not adopt the euro, which gives its central bank some independence from the rest of Europe.
