Norges Bank Investment Management Boosts Bitcoin Holdings by 192% in 2025

Norway’s sovereign wealth fund, Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM), has seen a substantial surge in its indirect Bitcoin holdings. The fund increased its exposure to Bitcoin via stakes in companies holding large BTC reserves by an astounding 192% year-on-year during 2025, amassing a total of 7,161 BTC. This investment strategy reflects a growing trend of institutional investors seeking exposure to Bitcoin indirectly through equity stakes rather than direct cryptocurrency purchases.
