A central bank is a PRIVATE entity and not a public one as many think it is.
So even if that central bank will start mining BTC, the question is: WHO owns those BTC?
  • the state?
  • the central bank?
  • people ? But which people ?
  • few individuals?

Good questions. My main concern is really when central banks decide they want to control the stack of their mining hardware, and make it all custom made. For instance imagine a scenario where the USA, Russia, the UAE et al, all choose to mine bitcoin with chips or ASICS manufactured in their nation states. That's the real concern for me tbh

Most central banks got nationalized decades ago.
Argentina's central bank was nationalised in 1946, same year as the BoE.
For major central banks, it is just the Fed, BoJ, and SNB that have private shareholders.
