Bitcoin’s price in its early-December drop reflects algorithmic flows, thin

Kazakhstan’s central bank has signaled plans to place up to $300 million into 
crypto and crypto-linked assets, a move that would mark one of the clearest 
examples yet of a sovereign institution putting reserve money into this 
market. Based on reports, the funds would come from the country’s gold and 
foreign-exchange reserves rather than its social or oil wealth funds. Related

Hashprice Central Bank Moves Cautiously According to central bank briefings 
and market reporting, the investment will not be made all at once. Initial 
tranches could be modest — figures discussed publicly include amounts like $50 
million and $100 million as possible early steps, with larger allocations of 
$250 million also on the table if conditions allow. The plan appears to be 
phased, with the bank watching price swings and market signals before 
committing major sums. The assets under consideration may include direct 
holdings of crypto tokens or instruments linked to the crypto sector, such as 
exchange-traded products and equity stakes in companies that serve the 
industry. Based on reports, the central bank’s alternative investments arm, 
which already holds high-tech and financial assets, would manage the 
placement. Investment Targets And Broader Plans Reports have disclosed that 
this move sits alongside a wider push to create a national digital-asset 
reserve fund. Officials and informed sources have mentioned target sizes in 
the range of $500 million to $1 billion for that reserve. That proposed fund 
would focus more on ETFs and corporate equity than on simply holding tokens in 
wallets. An existing state initiative, the Alem Crypto Fund, has already taken 
public steps into the market. In September 2025 the fund made an investment in 
the cryptocurrency BNB, signaling that parts of the state apparatus are 
experimenting with exposure to digital assets. That action is being watched 
closely by both domestic policymakers and foreign observers. Related Reading:

The central bank has stressed caution. Large price swings in major tokens have 
been noted as a reason to phase investments slowly. The proposed $300 million 
allocation, according to briefings, would be drawn from non-essential reserves 
— explicitly kept separate from Kazakhstan’s National Fund that pays for 
public programs — which is meant to protect social spending from market 
losses. Some of the purchases, reports suggest, could be executed through 
regulated financial products rather than raw token buys, lowering custody and 
liquidity risks. The decision to structure the program in stages is intended 
to reduce the chance of a sudden, large loss if markets move against the 
holdings. Featured image from kursiv.media, chart from TradingView
