Czech Republic

The Czech National Bank (CNB) has purchased digital assets for the first time in its history. The purchase was made outside its existing international reserves. Through this USD 1 million investment, the CNB has created a test portfolio of digital assets based on blockchain. In addition to bitcoin, the portfolio will include a test investment in the form of a USD stablecoin and a tokenised deposit on the blockchain. The total amount invested will not be actively increased. The purpose of the portfolio is to gain practical experience with holding digital assets and to implement and test the necessary related processes.
