New Zealand retirement fund allocates 5% for Bitcoin investment
Bitcoin is gaining adoption from several institutional investors and corporate entities. Over the past year, institutional investors have pumped billions of dollars into the Bitcoin market, and more are doing so.
KiwiSaver Growth Strategy allocates 5% of funds to Bitcoin
KiwiSaver Growth Strategy has allocated 5% of its funds to Bitcoin investment. The company is a $350 million retirement plan operated by New Zealand Wealth Funds Management. The rise of the leading cryptocurrency has encouraged the retirement fund manager to allocate some of its funds to Bitcoin.James Grigor, the chief investment officer at New Zealand Funds Management, told Stuff that Bitcoin’s similarities to Gold convinced the firm to invest in the leading cryptocurrency. “If you are happy to invest in gold, you can’t really discount bitcoin,” he added.
Grigor added that the firm would allocate more of its resources to Bitcoin over the next five years. KiwiSaver Growth Strategy first bought bitcoins in October 2020 when the leading cryptocurrency was trading at $10,000. The firm had to change its offer documents to allow for cryptocurrency investments before executing the trade.
Since buying bitcoins, the leading cryptocurrency’s price has surged by more than 500%, making it one of the best-performing assets over the past six months. Grigor explained that although KiwiSaver is mostly comprised of traditional asset classes, they are now open to other investment opportunities available in the market. He believes that Bitcoin is an asset class that could give people the best retirement they deserve via its aggressive compounding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
