The National Bank of Poland has decisively rejected the inclusion of Bitcoin as a reserve asset, emphasizing the importance of maintaining secure financial practices. This aligns with the broader trend among European central banks, which remain cautious about adopting cryptocurrencies.
Looking ahead to the presidential elections scheduled for May 2025, there could be a notable political shift regarding the acceptance of Bitcoin. Candidate Sławomir Mentzen has proposed establishing a Bitcoin reserve, which may influence the NBP’s current policy if elected.
