Norway's Norwegian Block Exchange (NBX) has recently entered the Bitcoin treasury trend by purchasing 6 BTC, valued at approximately $633,700. This announcement has significantly impacted its stock, which rose by 138.5% within a single trading day to close at €0.033 ($0.038). NBX is not only acquiring Bitcoin but also plans to leverage these assets to issue a new stablecoin called USDM on the Cardano blockchain. This move highlights the increasing trend of corporations adopting Bitcoin as a key financial strategy, with over 3 million BTC currently held by public firms globally.
The rise in NBX's shares indicates strong investor confidence, especially as Bitcoin prices hover around $105,000. Companies like Norway's Aker ASA and brokerage firm K33 are also exploring Bitcoin, with K33 raising $6.2 million for its own crypto initiatives. Furthermore, Norway’s sovereign wealth fund has indirect exposure to approximately 3,821 BTC.
With companies across the globe from France to Indonesia realizing stock boosts following their Bitcoin announcements, the trend seems to signify Bitcoin's evolution beyond being merely a digital asset to becoming a corporate finance strategy. Chris Lane, a financial analyst, stated, "The growing corporate adoption of Bitcoin signals a shift in its perception from digital gold to a pivotal growth resource for companies seeking investment opportunities within the crypto sphere."
