That bet paid off in 2024 with $222 billion in profits. This year, however, the market flopped\u2014and $40 billion vanished.<\/p>\n<p>Hidden in the wreckage was the Bitcoin exposure. Through stakes in Coinbase, MicroStrategy, Riot Platforms, and Marathon Holdings, Norway\u2019s sovereign wealth fund has quietly accumulated 3,821 BTC\u2014worth about $356 million at the end of 2024.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOur exposure to US tech stocks has been below the FTSE Global benchmark for 18 months,\u201d stated Norges Bank Deputy CEO Trond Grande in defense of the fund\u2019s approach.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Based.
