The Czech National Bank just made a smart move.
It announced the creation of a $1 million test portfolio in Bitcoin and other digital assets, not yet as reserves, but to gain first-hand experience with custody, compliance, tokenization, and blockchain infrastructure.
Not a leap, but a step forward.
Not hesitation, but preparation.
Because before you can sprint, you need to learn to walk.
Before removing the training wheels, you test the bike.
That’s exactly what the Czech Republic is doing.
It’s not El Salvador. It’s not Kazakhstan.
But it’s happening inside the EU. And that matters.
In a landscape where many are still stuck debating definitions, this kind of hands-on exploration is a sign of intellectual maturity and strategic foresight.
At OffChain Luxembourg, we’ve been advocating for exactly this via the Orange Heart Initiative: a thoughtful, phased approach to integrating Bitcoin and digital assets into sovereign strategies.
We’re proud that Luxembourg has already taken a first step in that direction. But we know the journey is bigger than us.
This is a global movement.
One that’s gaining momentum, step by step, wallet by wallet, nation by nation.
Let’s keep building.🧡
