The Government Pension Fund Global, Norway's sovereign wealth fund, has disclosed a $1.2 billion stake in SpaceX. This revelation comes as the fund reports a record profit of $184 billion for the first half of 2026. The profit surge is attributed to a rally in Asian tech stocks, according to the Wall Street Journal. The fund's assets under management now exceed $2.3 trillion, with the first quarter of 2026 being the best since 2020, according to Bloomberg.
The fund's investment in SpaceX marks its first public disclosure of a stake in the company. The Globe and Mail notes that this investment is part of the fund's broader strategy to diversify its portfolio beyond traditional energy sectors. Reuters and CNBC both focus on the record profit, with Reuters emphasizing the half-year figure and CNBC noting the SpaceX stake revelation. The fund's investment strategy and the specifics of its SpaceX stake are not detailed in the coverage.
The fund's approach to balancing traditional energy investments with new tech opportunities is not yet clear. The impact of the Asian tech stock rally on the fund's overall performance is also not specified.
