Solidium Oy is a Finnish state-owned investment company. Founded in 1991, Solidium's original purpose was to manage the property of SKOP Bank (Säästöpankkien Keskus-Osake-Pankki; fi), which went bankrupt in the early 1990s recession.[1]

In 2008, Solidium's mandate became the management of the listed minority shareholdings of the Finnish state.[2]
Previously, the government directly owned the stock, and transferring it to a single company was the work of Minister of Trade and Industry Jyri Häkämies. On August 1, 2022, the net asset value of Solidium was EUR 8,968 billion.[3]
Aside from Solidium, the government still directly owns shares in three listed companies as a majority shareholder.

Holdings
Solidium took over the state-owned shares in 2008 of Kemira, Metso, Outokumpu, Rautaruukki, Sampo, Sponda, Stora Enso, and Telia, and in 2009 Elisa.[citation needed]
Solidium acquired over 5% of Outotec Mining Technology Company's shares in March 2012, while Goldman Sachs reduced its ownership to less than 5%. 5% is the limit of the obligatory stock information note in Finland.[4]
Solidium has also bought Talvivaara mining stocks[5] and sold all shares of Sponda.[citation needed]
The Finnish state also directly owns shares of certain publicly listed companies, deemed to be strategically important, that are not in Solidium's portfolio. These include Finnair (55.8%), Fortum (50.8%), and Neste Oil (50.1%).[7]
