The Czech National Bank (CNB) is considering Bitcoin as part
of its reserve diversification strategy, while China has reportedly sold a
significant portion of its holdings. The CNB board is set to review the

that such a purchase would represent approximately 5.3 months of newly mined
Bitcoin supply.
