The Czech National Bank has purchased $1.5 million in digital assets, including bitcoin, a U.S. dollar stablecoin, and a tokenized deposit, to test blockchain technologies and gain hands-on experience with digital asset management.
The portfolio, acquired through an undisclosed exchange, is separate from official international reserves and will not be expanded.
The central bank aims to evaluate security, approvals, crisis response, and anti-money laundering compliance over a two- to three-year period.
Governor Ales Michl said the initiative reflects the growing role of digital payments and investments, with potential future uses like instant purchases of tokenized government bonds using the Czech crown.
The project is not intended to change reserve strategy or affect monetary policy.
