Episode notes
Sovereign Funds Embrace Indirect Bitcoin
- Norway's sovereign wealth fund has dramatically increased indirect Bitcoin exposure via holdings in Bitcoin-related companies.
- This signals institutional acceptance even when funds prefer indirect exposure over spot Bitcoin.

- Expect institutions to prefer 'Bitcoin exposure' via corporate treasuries and stocks rather than direct spot purchases.
- Watch for large allocations to companies like MicroStrategy, Riot, and Coinbase as proxy Bitcoin bets.

- That link strengthens the argument Bitcoin can become a price for energy and national reserves.
