According to The Block, Aleš Michl, Governor of the Czech National Bank, delivered a keynote speech at Bitcoin 2026 Las Vegas, publicly advocating for including Bitcoin in central bank reserve portfolios. Michl stated that the bank manages approximately $180 billion in reserves and that internal research shows allocating just 1% of assets to Bitcoin could enhance overall expected returns without materially increasing risk—due to Bitcoin’s low correlation with other reserve assets. Earlier, in November 2025, the Czech National Bank completed its first experimental Bitcoin purchase, becoming the world’s first central bank to acquire Bitcoin.
