The President of the National Bank of Poland, Adam Glapiński, adamantly rejects holding Bitcoin reserves, citing security concerns and preferring more certain investments. He stated that the bank will not hold Bitcoin reserves "under any circumstances," comparing Bitcoin unfavorably to gold, which increased the bank's reserves by 22% last year.
The Czech Central Bank considers studying the possibility of investing in Bitcoin, facing resistance from the finance minister and clarifications from the deputy governor. The study could publish by August or September, and finance minister Zbyněk Stanjura expressed reluctance, stating that he would not recommend a national Bitcoin reserve.
The European Central Bank, including President Christine Lagarde, expresses skepticism about Bitcoin reserves, emphasizing the need for liquid and secure reserves. However, in the US, there is increasing interest in studying Bitcoin reserves, with several states and President Trump exploring the creation of Bitcoin reserves.
Despite European disapproval, the US may aim to keep pace with Bitcoin-friendly jurisdictions in other regions, with nearly a third of US states reviewing legislation for their own reserves. President Trump has created a working group to study creating a Bitcoin reserve and called for the creation of a sovereign wealth fund. The US potentially seeks to align with more Bitcoin-friendly jurisdictions globally.
