#MicroStrategyJoinsNasdaq100
The Nasdaq 100 index consists of 100 of the largest non-financial companies by market capitalization listed on the Nasdaq exchange. Notably, Nasdaq reviews the index's components every year, adjusting participants based on their market performance.
MicroStrategy is set to join this elite group, with its inclusion taking effect on December 23. This automatically places the company in the Invesco QQQ, an exchange-traded fund managing $325 billion in assets, which gives it a broader reach to market investors.
With this increased visibility, MicroStrategy can leverage its growing relevance to penetrate more markets and raise capital for Bitcoin purchases. The software development company has actively utilized various debt instruments from the fixed-income market to expand its Bitcoin exposure.
Interestingly, other firms are beginning to follow MicroStrategy's lead, with crypto miner Marathon Digital and Japan's Metaplanet adopting similar strategies. Additionally, MicroStrategy's increasing Bitcoin exposure has led to a remarkable sixfold increase in its stock price year-to-date, enhancing its market traction.
However, it's important to note that MicroStrategy's position in the Nasdaq 100 will be reevaluated during the March 2025 reclassification event, considering its growing Bitcoin holdings.
