Norway’s sovereign wealth fund lost 40 billion USD in Q1— will it hedge risk by increasing Bitcoin exposure?

Norges Bank experienced a 40 billion USD drop in Q1 2025 due to a significant downturn in US tech stocks. The heavy dependence on equities positions the fund at risk of more substantial future losses amid ongoing trade wars.

Currently, Norges Bank holds an indirect exposure of 356 million USD in Bitcoin through equity investments. While there are discussions about increasing Bitcoin investments to hedge risks, the Bank is not planning to buy Bitcoin ETFs.
