As reported by Bloomberg, Norwegian oil mogul Kjell Inge Rokke has recently publicly shared his interest and positive stance on Bitcoin.
He stated that BTC could be the best mode of protection against the disruption faced by the finance industry and central banks.
"Bitcoin may one day be worth millions of dollars," Inge Rokke
Rokke's company, Aker ASA, controls numerous oil patches and oil service companies in Norway. Recently, it has tapped the market of green technologies and renewable energy.
A new company called Seetee AS will work with crypto and plans to buy $58 million in Bitcoin for a start.
The billionaire said in a statement that Bitcoin may go down to zero. However, it can also become the "core of a new monetary architecture."
He also believes that one day, the flagship cryptocurrency may cost "millions of dollars."
He believes that the finance sphere is going to radically change in the near future, along with fossil fuels.
What the company will do with Bitcoin
Seetee AS will start investing in Bitcoin and initiate partnerships with major players in the Bitcoin community. It also intends to start Bitcoin mining and invest in innovative projects and companies related to blockchain.
