A Strategic Bitcoin Bet

Norwegian crypto firm K33 has launched a Bitcoin treasury initiative after raising 60 million Swedish kronor ($6.2 million). The funding came through a mix of equity issuance and convertible loans and will be used to accumulate bitcoin as a long-term reserve asset.

CEO Torbjørn Bull Jenssen described the move as both a conviction-based investment and a strategic foundation for the company’s next growth phase.

Product Expansion Plans

Beyond simply holding BTC, K33 plans to use its treasury as a tool to enhance services, including BTC-backed lending and improved trading margins. The firm aims to use Bitcoin not just as a hedge but as an enabler for product innovation.

Strong Financial Performance

K33’s revenue rose 200% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2025, reaching $46.6 million. The company is listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market and is following the example of firms like Metaplanet and Strategy, both of which use Bitcoin as a strategic balance sheet asset.
