On January 8, news emerged that Bitwise Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Matt Hougan responded to the news of the Czech Republic's strategic Bitcoin reserve plan. Hougan had previously predicted that this year countries would significantly increase their adoption of Bitcoin, stating, 'The dominoes are starting to fall.' Yesterday, Czech National Bank (CNB) Governor Aleš Michl indicated that they are considering Bitcoin as part of diversifying foreign exchange reserves. However, the CNB currently has no plans to immediately purchase crypto assets, and future adoption will still require board approval. Meanwhile, the CNB plans to continue advancing reserve diversification by purchasing gold, aiming to increase its gold holdings to 5% of total assets by 2028.
