At the Bitcoin Conference 2026, the Governor of the Czech National Bank shared an interesting research finding: allocating 1% of BTC to a model portfolio increases expected returns while keeping overall risk essentially unchanged.

He also mentioned that ten years ago he bought a cup of coffee in Prague with Bitcoin, which would be worth about $350 in today's prices—arguably the most expensive coffee he ever owned. More noteworthy than this anecdote is that Bitcoin is gradually moving from a "highly volatile speculative asset" into discussions about asset allocation within central banks and traditional finance.
