On December 13, Nasdaq officially announced the annual restructuring results, and the globally watched MicroStrategy (MSTR) successfully made it into the Nasdaq 100 index, becoming one of the 75 largest non-financial companies in the index. This historic move not only marks the rise of Bitcoin concept stocks but also brings billions of dollars in passive investment inflows to MicroStrategy. With the mainstreaming of Bitcoin, this news will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the future Bitcoin market.

MicroStrategy enters the Nasdaq 100, becoming Bitcoin's 'financial guardian.'

MicroStrategy calls itself a 'Bitcoin company', and since 2020, it has centered its strategy around buying Bitcoin. Now, with its successful entry into the Nasdaq 100 index, MicroStrategy is no longer just a software company, but a strong force in the Bitcoin market. This inclusion not only significantly increases Bitcoin exposure in the Nasdaq 100 index but also exposes MSTR stock to a wide range of passive investors, with expectations of billions of dollars in inflows in the future.

CoinDesk senior analyst James Van Straten points out that MicroStrategy's inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 index could become the second largest news event in 2024, next to the launch of the US Bitcoin spot ETF. After all, this means that funds will be purchased at market prices for MicroStrategy stock on a monthly basis, continuously driving demand in the Bitcoin market.

A Symbol of a Changing Era: MicroStrategy in the Eyes of Investors

Bloomberg's ETF analyst Eric Balchunas describes MicroStrategy's selection for the Nasdaq 100 as a 'symbol of a changing era.' For Bitcoin enthusiasts and investors, this is not just an event in the stock market, but one of the signs of Bitcoin gradually moving into the mainstream.

MicroStrategy is expected to achieve a weight of 0.47%, becoming the 48th largest component of the Nasdaq 100. This means approximately $2.1 billion in buying funds will flow into MicroStrategy stock. These funds will come from ETFs tracking the Nasdaq 100 index, further supporting the prices of Bitcoin and MSTR stock.

However, some analysts have raised warnings. James Seyffart believes that since MicroStrategy's market value is almost entirely derived from its Bitcoin holdings rather than its core business, the company may be reclassified as a financial company by March next year, which would affect its position in the Nasdaq 100 index.

MicroStrategy's Bitcoin Strategy: Continuous Accumulation, Outperforming the Market

Since 2020, MicroStrategy's chairman Michael Saylor has firmly positioned the company as a 'Bitcoin company', continuously increasing Bitcoin holdings using the company's cash flow and stock issuance. To date, MicroStrategy has held 423,650 Bitcoins and plans to continue expanding its Bitcoin reserves.

This strategy has led to a 2500% increase in MicroStrategy's stock price since August 2020, while Bitcoin's price has risen by about 660% during the same period. Currently, MicroStrategy's Bitcoin holdings are valued at $25.6 billion, making it one of the largest holders of Bitcoin among publicly traded companies, second only to BlackRock.

MicroStrategy has also introduced a brand new financial metric - BTC Yield, which measures the change in the number of Bitcoins held per share of outstanding stock. According to the latest data, MicroStrategy's BTC Yield has increased by 41.8%, demonstrating the strong benefits of the company's strategy.

Nasdaq 100 Index: The Financialization Process of Bitcoin

The Nasdaq 100 index was established in 1985 and tracks the 100 largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange, including top global companies such as Apple, NVIDIA, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla. Every December, the Nasdaq 100 index undergoes a reorganization, with the latest restructuring results taking effect on December 23.

MicroStrategy's inclusion means that more ETFs and investors will indirectly invest in Bitcoin, which will undoubtedly accelerate the mainstreaming of Bitcoin.

Future Outlook: The Joint Rise of MicroStrategy and Bitcoin
With MicroStrategy's successful inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 index, we not only see the increasing maturity of the Bitcoin market but also anticipate that 2025 may become a 'bull market year' in the cryptocurrency field. If you have not yet joined the ranks of Bitcoin investors, now may be an opportunity not to be missed.
