- Deutsche Bank analysts report that German central banks may hold significant Bitcoin and Gold reserves by 2030.
- Bitcoin and gold demand is increasing, with both assets reaching record highs in 2025.
- The bank suggests Bitcoin could become a modern reserve asset, similar to gold’s historic role.
- Central bank adoption of Bitcoin depends on factors such as regulation, liquidity, security, and volatility control.
- Deutsche Bank states Bitcoin and gold can complement, but not replace, the U.S. dollar in central bank reserves.
Deutsche Bank, which manages about $1.05 trillion in assets, reports that German central banks could begin buying and holding large amounts of Bitcoin and gold by 2030. The insight comes from a recent analysis by senior economist Marion Laboure and analyst Camilla Siazon, both based in London at the bank.
According to the report, demand for Bitcoin and gold is rising in 2025, with both reaching new price records this year. Deutsche Bank analysts believe these assets are gaining popularity as alternatives to traditional government-backed currencies. As a result, they suggest that it is likely Bitcoin will join gold as a reserve asset within the next five years.
Laboure wrote, “The behavior we saw toward gold in the 20th century has clear parallels with how policymakers are now debating Bitcoin.” She described Bitcoin as a potential, “though still highly debated, reserve holding,” highlighting its recent performance and growing attention. Deutsche Bank maintains that central banks could benefit from holding Bitcoin for diversification, shielding reserves from U.S. dollar risks, and protecting against inflation and geopolitical events.
The report points out that for Bitcoin to play a significant role, clear regulations, strong market liquidity, secure storage solutions, and lower price volatility are necessary. Without these requirements, its use as an official reserve would remain limited.
Laboure also added, “Neither Bitcoin nor gold will entirely replace the US dollar,” stating in the report that digital assets should remain “complementary” to national currencies in reserve strategies. However, the report notes that both Bitcoin and gold have become much more important in today’s global economy, especially as the U.S. dollar’s value shows signs of weakening.
