Vetle Lunde, a senior analyst at K33 Research, stated on the X platform: "The Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund (NBIM) indirectly holds 2,446 bitcoins, an increase of 938 bitcoins from December 31, 2023. This growth is likely due to pre-determined algorithm-based sector weightings and risk diversification strategies. It is unlikely to be a deliberate increase in bitcoin exposure - if increasing bitcoin exposure was the goal, we would see more evidence of direct exposure measures (as well as significantly larger exposure).But in any case, this perfectly illustrates how bitcoin as an asset is becoming increasingly mature and being incorporated into any diversified investment portfolio. Thanks to the corporate bitcoin reserve strategies promoted by Michael Saylor, Jack Dorsey, Fred Thiel, and others, as of the end of the first half of 2024, the per capita indirect holding of bitcoins by Norwegians reached 44,476 "satoshi" (about $27).The growth of indirect exposure is due to: an increase in exposure to MicroStrategy from 0.67% to 0.89%; MicroStrategy's exposure to bitcoin increased by 37,181 bitcoins in the first half of 2024; exposure to Marathon Digital increased from zero to 0.82%; exposure to Coinbase increased from 0.49% to 0.83%; exposure to Block Inc increased from 1.09% to 1.28%."
