Norway’s central bank, Norges Bank, acquired a new stake in Circle Internet Group. An SEC disclosure, made public on December 10, 2025, confirmed the purchase. The bank bought 57,295 shares valued at approximately $10.39 million.
The significant institutional investment signals confidence in the digital financial technology firm’s outlook. This news arrives as the market awaits the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision, an event expected to influence crypto-related assets.
The investment follows several recent company developments. Circle recently formed a strategic partnership with the Bybit crypto exchange. Furthermore, its USDC stablecoin was included in a new CFTC pilot program for derivatives collateral.
