🚀 CZECH NATIONAL BANK GOVERNOR CONSIDERS BITCOIN INVESTMENT
Mr. Aleš Michl, Governor of the Czech National Bank (CNB), has opened the possibility of including Bitcoin in the bank's foreign exchange reserves. This plan has not yet been approved; Michl revealed to CNN Prima News that he is proposing the CNB to hold "a few Bitcoins" to serve the goal of diversification, although this investment will be insignificant. The plan needs approval from the Bank Council, while the CNB is currently prioritizing increasing gold reserves to 5% of total assets by 2028.
