Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled the Canada Strong Fund, a C$25 billion (about $18 billion) sovereign wealth vehicle, the country’s first.The fund will invest alongside private capital in Canadian energy, infrastructure, mining, agriculture and technology projects, and be structured as an arm’s‑length Crown corporation.Cointelegraph’s framing — “Will Bitcoin be added to the portfolio soon?” — has triggered intense speculation among crypto investors, who point to Strategy and Ohio pensions as precedents for public‑sector crypto exposure.

The fund will invest at least 80% of net assets in instruments providing bitcoin exposure, primarily shares of spot bitcoin ETPs such as BlackRock’s IBIT and Fidelity’s FBTC, then sell call options on those positions to collect monthly premiums.The options overwrite level will range from 40% to 100% of exposure depending on market conditions, capping some upside during rallies in exchange for steady income paid to shareholders.Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas described the product as “boomer candy,” noting that Goldman could leapfrog BlackRock’s competing BITA fund by leveraging its distribution network and institutional client relationships.
