Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund Records $40 Billion Loss in Q1…"May Increase Bitcoin Investments"
Summary
- The Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund reported a $40 billion loss in the first quarter of 2025.
- It is suggested that there is a possibility of expanding Bitcoin investments to recover losses due to the decline in technology stocks.
- Currently, the sovereign wealth fund is unlikely to purchase a Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund, but it is participating through indirect investments in companies holding Bitcoin.
It has been revealed that the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund, Norges Bank, recorded significant losses in the last quarter. Attention is focused on whether the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund will expand its investment in Bitcoin (BTC).
According to Cointelegraph, a cryptocurrency specialist media outlet, Norges Bank recorded a loss of $40 billion in the first quarter of 2025. This loss is attributed to the large-scale decline in technology stocks that the sovereign wealth fund had invested in.
Some suggest that the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund may increase its Bitcoin investments to recover the losses. Cointelegraph explained, "Currently, the possibility of the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund purchasing a Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) is low because the fund does not invest in similar asset classes like gold."
However, indirect investments in companies holding Bitcoin are possible. Cointelegraph emphasized, "The sovereign wealth fund has already invested in companies like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), Mara Holdings, Coinbase, and Riot Platforms, which are Bitcoin investment companies."
Meanwhile, Norges Bank's indirect investment in Bitcoin amounted to $356 million.
