Norway sovereign wealth fund Norges Bank semiconductor investments Ethereum exposure SpaceX stake

Norway’s Government Pension Fund Global, managed by Norges Bank Investment Management, reported a record semiannual profit of approximately $184 billion for the first half of 2026. The fund’s total assets under management reached roughly $2.34 trillion, following a 9.4% semiannual return.

Growth was largely driven by a surge in Asian technology stocks. The fund’s investment in Taiwan increased by 50.7% to $61.914 billion, with TSMC remaining its largest Taiwanese holding at a market value of $33.525 billion. Other significant holdings include Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, and Microsoft.

The fund also disclosed new or expanded positions in crypto-adjacent and frontier tech sectors. It holds a 0.05% stake in SpaceX, valued at approximately $1.2 billion, and a $81.87 million position in BitMine Immersion Technologies, providing indirect exposure to Ethereum. Additionally, the fund increased its stake in Strategy Inc. by 50% to $370 million.

CEO Nicolai Tangen cautioned that while the fund has successfully transitioned from oil-based to financial-based wealth, extreme market collapses or geopolitical risks could threaten its value. In Portugal, the fund reached a record investment level of 27.3 billion kroner by the end of June.
