A Norwegian holding company with interests in offshore fishing, construction, and engineering is the latest publicly-traded firm to invest in bitcoin.

Aker ASA, a company publicly listed on Oslo Stock Exchange, announced today that it is establishing a new company - Seetee AS - with the goal of investing in the bitcoin ecosystem.

The new company has bought 1,170 BTC worth NOK 500 million ($58 million). Seetee will go beyond buying and holding bitcoins.

Seetee’s crypto focus

Seetee is going to focus on investing in and owning bitcoin, joining the broader crypto community and establishing new partners with key players, launching bitcoin verification operations, and building and investing in blockchain and bitcoin projects.

Seetee will capitalize on the work done by its parent company in industrial software, fintech, and green energy value chains to achieve its four main objectives.

The company wants to pursue innovations in cybersecurity, financial transactions, and emissions-free verification processes.

“We are very excited about the industrial opportunities that will be unlocked by Bitcoin and blockchain technology, and want to contribute forcefully to that effort,” said Aker President and CEO Øyvind Eriksen.

The new company has already inked a partnership deal with Canadian blockchain technology company Blockstream.

Seetee and Blockstream partnership

The collaboration between the two companies will initially focus on mining operations. The two will leverage Blockstream’s expertise in the crypto sector as well as Aker’s industrial experience.

Blockstream’s co-founder and CEO Adam Back said Aker’s experience in global power infrastructure will be valuable to the crypto industry.

“We will be working closely with Seetee on Bitcoin mining and sidechain projects that benefit Aker's group of companies and we expect that their rich experience in leveraging global power infrastructure will prove to be a valuable asset to the Bitcoin industry,” said Back.

Aker, which owns 7 companies as of February 2020, joins the growing list of companies converting their assets into bitcoin.

Companies invest in bitcoin

Both private and public companies are investing in bitcoin, endorsing the digital currency as a viable investment asset.

The majority of the companies investing in bitcoin are based in the U.S. However, companies from other regions such as Europe are also putting their money on bitcoin.

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.
