John D’Agostino, the Chief Strategy Officer at Coinbase Institutional, anticipates a rise in Bitcoin purchases by other Eurozone nations following the Czech Republic’s recent acquisition of the cryptocurrency.
He highlighted that although the amount is modest—around one million dollars—the fact that a central bank within the Eurozone is integrating Bitcoin into its national treasury and actively experimenting with its use for payments is groundbreaking.
D’Agostino emphasized that such initiatives tend to inspire others, predicting that numerous Eurozone institutions will likely adopt similar strategies in the near future.
In November 2025, the Czech National Bank (CNB) incorporated Bitcoin into a $1 million experimental portfolio of digital assets. This portfolio also contains a USD-backed stablecoin and tokenized deposits as part of their exploration.
The objective behind this move is to assess Bitcoin’s potential function in upcoming payment systems and reserve management amid increasing institutional interest. The findings from this experiment are expected to be published within two to three years.
