Norway's Wealth Fund Boosts Bitcoin Exposure by 83%

Norway’s Government Pension Fund Global (NBIM) has increased its Bitcoin-related assets by 83% in Q2 2025, primarily through investments in MicroStrategy and Metaplanet stocks. This significant boost marks a turning point in institutional risk appetite and strategy, showing growing confidence in digital assets.

Through this move, NBIM’s Bitcoin-equivalent exposure rose from 6,200 BTC to 11,400 BTC, reflecting a stronger commitment to the crypto space. Their alignment with MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin accumulation strategy indicates a calculated entry into the digital asset market.

This shift may influence other sovereign wealth and pension funds to reconsider their stance on Bitcoin, potentially sparking wider institutional adoption. The growing presence of state-backed funds in crypto illustrates a broader trend of long-term strategic investment in decentralized assets.
