Canada’s Public Sector Pension Investment Board, which manages roughly C$299.7 billion (US$216 billion) for federal employees, has disclosed its first Bitcoin-related investment. A regulatory filing dated 12 August shows the fund held about US$18 million in Marathon Digital Holdings and US$10 million in CleanSpark, two U.S.-listed cryptocurrency miners, giving it Bitcoin exposure of roughly US$28 million—about 0.01 percent of total assets. The move adds to a gradual shift among large institutional investors toward the digital-asset sector. Earlier this year, South Korea’s US$927 billion National Pension Service reported increasing its Bitcoin exposure by 182 percent in the first half of 2025. While allocations remain small relative to overall assets, the investments signal growing willingness by public pensions to test the market through equity stakes in mining companies rather than direct token purchases.
