捷克國家銀行 (CNB) 行長 Aleš Michl 最近在 CNN Prima News 的 Partie Terezie Tománková 節目中討論了該機構的貨幣立場、不斷增長的黃金儲備以及投資比特幣的可能性。這次採訪最初由 Seznam Zprávy 報道，對央行的外匯儲備策略以及行長個人對 BTC 的看法提供了罕見的見解。

CNB Governor Open to Investing in Bitcoin, but Institution Prefers Gold, Monetary Policy to Stay Unchanged

CNB行長對投資比特幣持開放態度，但機構偏好黃金，貨幣政策保持不變

Michl began by expressing his skepticism towards the Czech Republic adopting the euro, highlighting that joining the single currency would not resolve the country's economic challenges. "The euro is no salvation," he stated, adding that the CNB currently sees limited strategic advantage in giving up the Czech Koruna.

米歇爾首先對捷克共和國採用歐元表示懷疑，強調加入單一貨幣並不能解決該國的經濟挑戰。他表示：「歐元並不是救贖。」他補充說，央行目前認為放棄捷克克朗的戰略優勢有限。

In addition to the euro discussion, Michl elaborated on the CNB's aspirations to bolster and diversify its foreign exchange reserves. The bank has notably ramped up its gold holdings in recent years, increasing it from eight tons to the current fifty tons, with plans to expand further.

除了歐元討論之外，米歇爾還闡述了央行加強外匯儲備並使其多元化的願望。近年來，該銀行大幅增加了黃金持有量，從八噸增加到目前的五十噸，並計劃進一步擴大。

"We'll have 100 tons [...] we'll make it in about 3 and a half years and we'll have the most in the history of the Czech Republic," the governor said, specifically detailing the timeline. He emphasized that the CNB's approach to risk mitigation involves distributing reserves across different asset classes: "We have foreign exchange reserves and we need to invest them well, diversify [...] so that between each other, those asset classes are diversified."

「我們將擁有 100 噸……我們將在大約 3 年半的時間內完成，我們將擁有捷克共和國歷史上最多的產量，」州長說道，並詳細說明了時間表。他強調，央行緩解風險的方法涉及在不同資產類別之間分配儲備：「我們擁有外匯儲備，我們需要對其進行良好投資，實現多元化[...]，以便這些資產類別之間實現多元化。

Crucially, while gold forms the cornerstone of the CNB's reserve policy, Michl also addressed the growing discourse around Bitcoin. When asked directly if the CNB had ever considered putting funds into Bitcoin, he noted that this is a topic which "often permeates political discussion especially from young people."

至關重要的是，雖然黃金構成了 CNB 儲備政策的基石，但 Michl 也談到了圍繞比特幣日益增長的討論。當被直接問及 CNB 是否曾考慮過將資金投入比特幣時，他指出，這是一個「經常滲透到政治討論中的話題，尤其是年輕人的政治討論」。

"Yes, I had Bitcoin in my mind," he revealed, although quickly clarifying that such an idea has not been adopted as formal policy: "I was considering Bitcoin [...] but luckily there are seven of us on the board and I think the gold will be enough for now. But we can keep debating it."

「是的，我腦子裡有比特幣，」他透露道，儘管他很快澄清這一想法尚未被採納為正式政策：「我正在考慮比特幣[...] 但幸運的是，董事會中有我們七個人，並且我認為目前黃金就足夠了，但我們可以繼續爭論。

The central bank's priority is "low inflation [and] financial stability," which makes a large-scale entry into Bitcoin unlikely in the immediate future, as explained by Michl. Nonetheless, he recognized Bitcoin's appeal as a potential hedge in a diversified portfolio, calling it "a very interesting thing [...] as a diversification against other assets."

Michl 解釋說，央行的首要任務是“低通膨和金融穩定”，這使得比特幣在不久的將來不太可能大規模進入。儘管如此，他承認比特幣作為多元化投資組合中潛在對沖工具的吸引力，稱其“作為針對其他資產的多元化投資是一件非常有趣的事情。”

He highlighted that any small-scale Bitcoin purchase under consideration would be minuscule, especially in comparison to the CNB's ongoing gold accumulation. "I was thinking of buying just a few bitcoins. I didn't mean to invest massively in it while we're still on gold," as stated by Michl.

他強調，任何正在考慮的小規模比特幣購買都是微不足道的，特別是與 CNB 持續累積的黃金相比。 「我只想購買一些比特幣。當我們仍然持有黃金時，我並不想大量投資比特幣，」Michl 表示。
