The central banks of Norway and Switzerland have notably increased their investments in MicroStrategy, a firm that holds a substantial amount of Bitcoin. Norges Bank, responsible for managing Norway’s Government Pension Fund, now holds over 1.12 million shares, while the Swiss National Bank has acquired 466,000 shares, marking a 60% increase from the previous quarter.

The shares of MicroStrategy have shown a fluctuation aligned closely with Bitcoin’s market price. Despite recent declines in share price, the company’s aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy has allowed it to outperform many stocks in the S&P 500 index over the long term. This maneuver is part of a broader trend where institutional investors use publicly traded companies like MicroStrategy as a proxy to gain exposure to digital assets.
