As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial market, I’ve witnessed the rise and fall of many companies and trends. The inclusion of MicroStrategy (MSTR) into the Nasdaq-100 Index is undoubtedly a significant event that marks a new chapter for both the company and the crypto industry as a whole.
In a groundbreaking move, MicroStrategy (MSTR), currently the world’s leading corporate Bitcoin owner, is poised to enter the Nasdaq-100 Index. This significant milestone, taking effect on December 23rd, will make MicroStrategy the initial Bitcoin-focused company to be part of one of the most esteemed stock indexes. Notable members of this exclusive club include tech titans such as Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, and Amazon.
As stated in a Nasdaq press release, the Nasdaq-100 index follows the top non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange. The combined assets managed by ETFs that track this index exceed $550 billion. Notably, Invesco’s QQQ Trust (QQQ) manages an impressive $300 billion alone, which could contribute to increased passive investment in MicroStrategy’s shares. Experts anticipate that these ETFs might inject approximately $2.1 billion into MicroStrategy, potentially leading to a rise in its stock price.
The business approach centered around Bitcoin, led by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor at the company, has drawn noticeable interest. With approximately $42 billion in Bitcoin assets, MicroStrategy’s involvement significantly boosts the Nasdaq-100’s indirect exposure to Bitcoin, providing millions of investors an opportunity to invest in the cryptocurrency market indirectly.
Although this move represents a significant achievement for the company, certain analysts caution that it might not last. Should MicroStrategy be redefined as a financial institution – a potential scenario considering its substantial Bitcoin assets – it may no longer meet the criteria for inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 index.
An analyst remarked that, aside from the significant event involving U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, this could be one of the most notable crypto stories of the year.
