Hostplus Considers Offering Bitcoin to Members

Hostplus, a top Australian pension fund managing roughly $105 billion for almost 2 million members, is researching ways to let members invest in Bitcoin and other digital assets through its Choiceplus platform. Currently, members with $10,000+ can choose shares and ETFs, and younger investors are showing strong interest in crypto options. Hostplus says any rollout would require regulatory approval and robust consumer safeguards. If approved, Bitcoin access could be available as early as July 2026, marking a major shift for cautious super funds.
