Norwegian digital asset brokerage and research firm K33 AB has initiated its Bitcoin treasury strategy with a purchase of 10 Bitcoin valued at approximately $1.039 million (SEK 10 million). The firm aims to accumulate up to 1,000 Bitcoin on its balance sheet over time. Separately, the Norwegian Block Exchange (NBX) has become the first publicly listed Norwegian company to adopt the Bitcoin standard, resulting in a 138% surge in its stock price. NBX has also announced plans to launch a MiCA-compliant stablecoin called USDM on the Cardano blockchain, with support from Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson. Following these developments, NBX's stock continued to rise, gaining an additional 47% in a single day. These moves mark notable milestones in Norway's growing involvement in cryptocurrency adoption and blockchain-based financial products.
