K33 AB, a company from Norway that deals with digital assets and research, bought 10 Bitcoin (BTC) for about SEK 10 million, which is around $1 Million. This purchase was the first step in their new plan called the Bitcoin Treasury strategy. The firm is listed on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market.
They recently received SEK 60 million to support their Bitcoin plan, aiming to enhance their finances and operations.
K33’s CEO, Torbjørn Bull Jenssen, is very positive about Bitcoin, saying, “We expect Bitcoin to be the best-performing asset in the coming years and will build our balance sheet in Bitcoin moving forward. This will give K33 direct exposure to the Bitcoin price and help unlock powerful synergies with our brokerage operation. Our ambition is to build a balance of at least 1000 BTC over time and then scale from there.”
According to him, the investment will help the firm’s brokerage business to grow and expand in new ways. Jenssen also shared that the firm has initiatives to buy more Bitcoin, aiming to own at least 1,000 BTC in the future.
This decision of his makes the firm one of the first public companies to treat Bitcoin as an important asset. It also highlights that big organizations are becoming more interested in cryptocurrency. The firm has announced this in its press release.
The firm helps private and institutional clients in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa with trading, insights, and support, and is working with Mangold Fondkommission for advice on this strategy.
K33’s choice to invest in Bitcoin fits with its bigger goal of using digital assets to improve its services and bring new ideas to the financial world. The crypto community has reacted positively, as it’s a sign that traditional companies have started to accept Bitcoin.
