Czech National Bank Governor Considers BTC Reserve Strategy

According to the latest reports, the central bank governor of Czechia, Aleš Michl, considers Bitcoin a potential diversification strategy for the country’s foreign exchange reserves. This mirrors increased government interest in crypto as a savings technology.

During a recent interview with CNN Prima News, the governor said that they are considering acquiring a few BTC for diversification, but this would not be a significant investment for the bank.

In other words, they plan to simply test the water for now, and the Czech National Bank’s board, which includes seven members, would need to approve the decision to buy BTC.

When asked about a potential acquisition, Janis Aliapulios, an adviser to the board, confirmed that, at the moment, the bank is not currently planning a BTC investment, but did not rule out considering BTC diversification in the future.

According to the official reports, the bank will continue its diversification plan with gold purchases in the near future.

However, Bitcoin continues to see rising global adoption, being considered “digital gold”.

Bitcoin – A Unique Opportunity for Central Banks

In 2024, we reported that Poland, Russia, and other countries are currently weighing in on potential BTC Strategic Reserves, following El Salvador’s approach.

In October, Forbes revealed multiple reasons why central banks could consider BTC as a reserve asset, quoting a report called The Case for Bitcoin as a Reserve Asset.

The official report is authored by BPI Economics Fellow Matthew Ferranti and argues that Bitcoin is a unique opportunity for central banks with important features including diversification of central banks against risks such as:

• Inflation
• Geopolitical tensions
• Capital controls
• Sovereign default
• Bank failures
• Financial tensions

He said that like gold, Bitcoin is also a reserve asset.

Meanwhile, Satoshi Act Fund’s founder and CEO, Dennis Porter, revealed a bullish announcement via X today.

Up to 20 SBR Bills to Be Introduced at State Level

Porter said that up to 20 Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bills will be introduced at the state level, multiple bills in the same state, as lawmakers aggressively compete to be the first in history.

He also said that most of these bills will be based on the Satoshi Act Fund SBR model.

The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act of 2025 includes three sections:

• Legislative findings – explaining how Bitcoin can overcome state risks, protecting the sovereignty of nations.
• Legislative intent – permitting the inclusion of BTC and crypto to serve as stores of value, and offer a hedge against inflation, while offering investment flexibility.
• Definitions – explaining ETPs, Bitcoin, digital assets, and private keys.

Bitcoin remains surrounded by optimism at the beginning of 2025 ahead of the Trump administration debut, and fueled by renewed inflows in related products.

Bitcoin Price Holds Above $100,000 Following January 6th Rally

At the moment of writing this article, BTC is trading above $100,000, up by over 1.6% in the last 24 hours, and nearing a market cap of $2 trillion.

On January 6th, BTC kicked off a price rally that sent the digital asset above $102,000 for the first time in 2025.

January 6th is reminiscent of the same day, when in 2021, the US Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., was attacked. The Guardian noted that Trump recently promised pardons for the rioters when he takes office.

Back in 2021, Trump shared a video, telling protesters to go home peacefully, but Twitter 1.0 took the message down. He also shared messages, asking people to respect the law. 

Over $987 Million Inflows in BTC ETFs 

According to SoSoValue data, yesterday’s price rally for BTC was fueled by multiple factors, including a consistent inflow day in BTC ETFs above $987 million. 

Fidelity’s BTC ETF, FBTC, recorded the biggest inflows above $370 million. As of yesterday, the total net assets locked in BTC ETFs were above $116 billion, and the cumulative net inflow since their debut a year ago neared $37 billion.

Also, MicroStrategy bought more BTC yesterday, remaining committed to its strategy.
