Norway Wealth Fund Posts Record $184 Billion Profit

The News

Norway's sovereign wealth fund — the world's largest — posted a record profit of $184 billion in the first half of 2026, driven largely by its big holdings in US technology companies.

The fund returned 9.4% over the six months and is now valued at around $2.34 trillion.

Alongside the results, the fund disclosed a $1.2 billion stake in Elon Musk's SpaceX for the first time.

The fund invests in more than 7,000 companies across 60 countries.

According to CNBC, its US tech holdings — including Nvidia and Apple — powered the gains, and the SpaceX position marked the first time the fund revealed a stake in Musk's rocket company.
