Luxembourg’s Intergenerational Sovereign Wealth Fund has invested 1% of its holdings in Bitcoin ETFs. This makes FSIL the first state level fund in the the European region to do so.
Summary
- Luxembourg Intergenerational Sovereign Wealth Fund or FSIL has invested 1% of its wealth into Bitcoin ETFs. The fund is estimated to have invested around $9 million into crypto.
- This marks a significant shift in attitudes, considering Luxembourg authorities had classified crypto firms as being at “high-risk” of money laundering.
During a presentation discussing the 2026 Budget at the Chambre des Députés, Finance Minister Gilles Roth announced that the Luxembourg Intergenerational Sovereign Wealth Fund or FSIL has invested 1% of its holdings in Bitcoin ETFs.
This marks the first time in history that a European state-backed investment entity has committed a share of its fund into crypto-backed products. Although other European nations have been known to hold Bitcoin (BTC), such as Finland and the U.K, the cryptocurrency held by these countries were acquired through criminal seizures.
The information was shared on LinkedIn by the country’s Director of the Treasury and Secretary General Bob Kieffer. He said that the investment is an application of the FSIL’s new investment policy, which had been green lit by the government in July 2025.
Under the new framework, the FSIL is allowed to allocated up to 15% of its asset portfolio into alternative investments, including cryptocurrency. Other alternative investment assets encompassed in the law are private equity and real estate.
“Some might argue that we’re committing too little too late; others will point out the volatility and speculative nature of the investment,” Keiffer acknowledged in his post.
“Yet, given the FSIL’s particular profile and mission, the Fund’s management board concluded that a 1% allocation strikes the right balance, while sending a clear message about Bitcoin’s long-term potential,” he continued.
