Bitcoin in the Books: Norway’s First Public Company Adds BTC to Treasury
NBX becomes Norway’s first listed company to add Bitcoin to its treasury—signaling growing European corporate interest in BTC.
In a significant move for both traditional finance and crypto adoption, Norwegian Block Exchange (NBX) has become Norway’s first publicly listed company to hold Bitcoin (BTC) on its balance sheet.
While many companies across the U.S. and Asia have experimented with crypto treasuries, Europe has largely remained cautious—until now. NBX’s decision signals a turning point in how European firms may begin treating Bitcoin: not just as an asset, but as a long-term store of value.
Why does this matter?
NBX’s move adds credibility to the “Bitcoin as digital gold” narrative. It could push more listed firms in the EU to consider BTC as a hedge against inflation or macro uncertainty. Additionally, it sends a clear message that Bitcoin is not just for tech companies—it’s for balance sheets too.
For retail investors, this is more than symbolic. The more institutional players get involved, the more liquid and stable Bitcoin markets become—possibly reducing volatility over time.
NBX’s decision could be the spark that sets off a new wave of corporate crypto adoption across Europe.
