Aleš Michl, Governor of the Czech National Bank, has sparked discussions about the potential inclusion of Bitcoin in the bank's foreign exchange reserves as part of its diversification strategy.

Plans for Reserve Diversification

In a recent interview with CNN Prima News, Aleš Michl expressed openness to Bitcoin as a potential diversification tool. However, any investment would require the approval of the Czech National Bank’s board. He mentioned considering a modest purchase of Bitcoins but emphasized it wouldn’t be a significant investment. However, adviser Janis Aliapulios clarified that the bank has no plans to invest in Bitcoin, instead focusing on increasing gold reserves to 5% of total assets by 2028.

Economic Forecasts for 2025

During the interview, Michl expressed an optimistic outlook for the Czech economy in 2025, predicting low inflation and financial stability. He estimates inflation will decrease to about 2.5% by year-end, moving towards a long-term target of 1.9% to 2%, reflecting a dramatic change from the 17.5% inflation rate when he took office in July 2022. Notably, the Czech economy’s growth forecast has been lowered from 2.7% to 2%. Michl emphasizes that household consumption and entrepreneurship should be the main drivers rather than increased government borrowing. He advocates for reducing the civil service workforce, calling it overcrowded while suggesting sensible wage increases and streamlining operations within ministries.

Impact on the European Context

Meanwhile, former German finance minister Christian Lindner suggested that the European Central Bank and Germany’s Bundesbank consider adding Bitcoin to their reserves. He referred to the Trump administration’s approach to cryptocurrencies as “extremely progressive” and noted the U.S. ambition to become a leading crypto hub.

Discussions about including Bitcoin in central bank reserves highlight the growing interest in cryptocurrencies as diversification tools and their potential impact on the global economy.
