“NBIM’s indirect BTC exposure has reached a new all-time high, entering five-digit territory with 11,549 BTC held as of the end of H1 2026,” K33 Head of Research Vetle Lunde said on X.

“It’s important to note that this exposure, in all likelihood, is not a deliberate measure from the fund but rather a consequence of its broadly diversified portfolio,” K33 stated.
