ChainCatcher news, according to Coindesk, the UK's first pension fund has directly invested 3% of its assets in Bitcoin with the assistance of consulting firm Cartwright, rather than through indirect methods such as ETFs.

This decision was reached after extensive discussions with the fund's trustees, with a focus on ESG factors and security, and the private keys are managed jointly by five independent institutions. Cartwright also plans to launch a Bitcoin employee benefits program, allowing companies to pay Bitcoin directly into employees' wallets, with several companies already expressing interest.
