1252 GMT - The most interesting detail of the latest 13F filing from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is that the Norges Bank, Norway's central bank, increased its exposure to bitcoin in the second quarter, Standard Chartered's Geoff Kendrick says in a note. Norges Bank bought shares in bitcoin treasury companies Strategy, formerly known as Microstrategy, and Metaplanet, he says. "In the second quarter, they increased their bitcoin equivalent exposure from 6,200 to 11,400 bitcoins, an 83% increase." This position remains almost entirely in Strategy, although Norges did add a small bitcoin equivalent position in Metaplanet. (renae.dyer@wsj.com)
