#CzechBitcoinReserve?
The Czech Republic is considering adding Bitcoin to its national reserves, with the Czech National Bank (CNB) proposing to allocate 5% of its reserves to Bitcoin. This move would make the Czech Republic the first country in Europe to hold Bitcoin reserves.
The proposal, put forth by CNB Governor Aleš Michl, aims to diversify the country's foreign exchange reserves and potentially increase returns ³. However, some officials, including Czech Finance Minister Zbynek Stanjura, have expressed concerns about Bitcoin's volatility.
Despite these concerns, the Czech Republic has been actively promoting a crypto-friendly environment. The country recently passed a law exempting capital gains tax on Bitcoin and other crypto assets held for more than three years.
The idea of central banks holding #$BTC reserves is gaining traction globally, with several countries, including the US, Brazil, and Japan, exploring similar initiatives.
