for clarification(update d580.pdf):
This document sets out the final revised standard which the Committee has agreed
to implement by 1 January 2026
i can only guess it seems they dont want a rampant buy up session by multiple banks during ATH season and instead wait until the correction season(post ATH)
also
they aim for 1% but can buy(inflow) upto 2% but would be in breach if they buy(inflow) above 2%
when hoarding crypto assets they have a 5% of fiat value of reserve limit before they have to sell(outflow)
also
to note they have 2 groupings. group 1 are stablecoins of trad-fi, group 2 are well known instable coins and their partnered ETF's, pegged tokens, etc. so the 2% max buys may not be a total of just bitcoin, but a mix of some bitcoin some pegged bitcoin derivative, some altcoins and some ETF
also it appears(im still reading and de-complicating verbage of latest standards) that of the group2(which bitcoin fits within) which has its own 2% and 5% limits of the group,
a further limit is implied per asset hidden in the small print. whereby of the 2% of total fiat reserve being group 2inflow limit. within group 2, a 5% of group 2 is a limit of
each asset type.
0.1% is equal to 5%per asset type of 2% of groupmeaning(example):
privatekey/multisig(self custody) bitcoin is 0.1% of total fiat reserve
ETF shares of exposure to bitcoin is 0.1% of total fiat reserve
some wrapped coin pegged to bitcoin is 0.1% of total fiat reserve
some altcoin is 0.1% of total fiat reserve
[16 other assets of this class]
so having direct self custody real bitcoin stored by central bank may end up being only 0.1% of fiat reserves
also(still translating jargon to common)
there would be a breach if each asset goes above 0.3% of total fiat reserve
p.s seems the basel committee slid in a limiter in the small print. which seems to be where self custody of real bitcoin would have a inflow of 0.1% of total reserves limit and would require selling(outflow) at 0.3% of total reserves. and so banks would need to also buy etfs pegged tokens and derivatives exposed to bitcoins price to fill the 2% of total reserves
