Czech Republic and Luxembourg Announce Strategic Bitcoin Reserves
On Nov. 13, 2025, the Czech Republic and Luxembourg said they now hold Bitcoin in their official reserves, joining a growing number of states that view crypto as a tool to diversify balance sheets. Both governments cited inflation protection and heightened macroeconomic risks as motivations, noting the move follows similar strategic reserve actions reported in other countries.
The announcements could accelerate institutional adoption in Europe and raise fresh questions for EU regulators and central banks about sovereign reserve policy and market oversight. Details on the size and custody arrangements of the holdings remain limited, so investors and policymakers will be watching for follow-up disclosures and any ripple effects on BTC liquidity and sovereign bond strategies.
