Norway-based digital asset company K33 has secured financing to launch a Bitcoin treasury strategy, raising between SEK 60 million (approximately $5.5 million) and $6.2 million from core shareholders. K33, which is listed in Stockholm and provides research, brokerage, and custody services, plans to use Bitcoin not only as a long-term investment but also to support new services such as BTC-backed lending and improved trading margins. This move positions K33 among the growing number of companies adopting Bitcoin treasury strategies, contributing to a collective holding of over 800,000 BTC worth around $87 billion by such firms. Separately, Norwegian crypto platform NBX aims to become Scandinavia's leading exchange, signaling increased activity in the region's cryptocurrency market.
