The governor of the Czech National Bank publicly endorses Bitcoin’s inclusion in central bank reserves, saying, “This is the future.”

ChainCatcher reports that, according to The Block, Ales Michl, the Governor of the Czech National Bank, delivered a keynote speech at the Bitcoin 2026 Las Vegas Conference, publicly advocating for including 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 can improve overall expected returns with minimal additional risk, due to Bitcoin’s low correlation with other reserve assets.

The Czech National Bank previously completed its first test purchase of Bitcoin in November 2025, making it the first central bank in the world to buy Bitcoin.
